High Speed Polarisation Rotator

The Lightwaves2020’s high-speed Polarisation Rotator is based on novel optical material offering fast response in µs. It can continuously rotate polarisation direction of input light beam by applying electrical field. The dramatic increase in response speed enables the new polarisation rotator for demanding 40Gbs application. An optional driver-PCB, on which the polarisation rotator is fixed, is provided.
