OFS Announces Polarimeter Availability

LOS ANGELES -- OFS, a leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of innovative fiber optic network products, today announced the commercial release of its IPLM polarimeter device. The IPLM is a compact, in-line polarimeter device with broad application in the fiber optics industry.

"The IPLM measures the full polarization state, or Stokes vector, in a very compact and optically efficient package. The device has broad application in telecommunications, sensors, and test and measurement," said Christopher MacGregor, Design Engineer, OFS Specialty Photonics.

The IPLM is a very small, hermetically packaged polarimeter designed to meet Telcordia GR-468 qualification. The device fulfills a market need for high speed and optically broadband polarization measurements. It offers excellent optical performance with <0.8dB insertion loss and <0.15dB polarization dependent loss. This efficiency in optical and mechanical design will allow system and subsystem integrators to integrate polarimetric devices more efficiently in both new and existing applications.
