Luna’s POD 2000 is a DSP-powered polarimeter designed for highspeed polarisation characterisation, analysis, and monitoring. This instrument uses four channels to simultaneously obtain the four Stokes parameters and measure an input light beam's instantaneous state of polarisation (SOP) and degree of polarisation (DOP).
A USB 2.0 interface enables data to be transferred directly to a computer and this polarimeter can easily monitor and analyzes fast polarization changes with a sampling rate of up to 100 KS/s. Standard 100BASE-TX Ethernet is also available for measurement and control. The POD 2000 comes with a user interface for real-time graphic display of polarization state either on a Poincaré Sphere window, for viewing SOP traces, or on an oscilloscope window, for monitoring polarization changes over time.
Applications:
- SOP/DOP monitoring
- Polarisation analysis
- Scrambler DOP characterisation
- SOP statistics
- PM fibre alignment to light sources
- Polarisation extinction ratio Analysis
