特長

  • 動作波長範囲:700~1050 nmまたは1100~1620 nm
  • FC/PCおよびFC/APCコネクタの両方に対応
  • 決定論的偏光制御により任意の偏光状態を変化させることが可能
  • 360° 回転による高精度の偏光制御で機械的特性および温度特性が安定
  • カスタム波長ならびにカスタムアライメントキットについては当社までご連絡ください。

当社のFiberBench偏光コントローラーキットによって、任意の入力偏光状態を任意の出力偏光状態に変換することができます。このコントローラでは、1軸FiberBenchにウォールプレートHCA3を用いて取り付けられた2つのFiberPortが使われています。入力側の偏光状態は、2つのFiberPort間に1/4波長板-1/2波長板-1/4波長板の順に並べられた波長板を回転させることで、任意の偏光状態に制御することが可能です。各プレートは、精密に360°連続回転させることができます。

従来型のパドル式コントローラに対する利点
このFiberBench偏光コントローラはパドル式コントローラと同じ機能を有していますが、より決定論的で安定した偏光の操作が可能です。このコントローラはヒステリシスがないため、入力側の偏光状態(SOP)が決まれば、コントローラの出力側のSOPが予測できます。偏光計がないと、パドルコントローラからの出力のSOPを直接的に知ることはできません。従来型のパドル式コントローラと異なり、 FiberBench偏光コントローラは、PMまたはSMファイバとお使いいただけ、スプライシングの必要がありません。また、FiberBenchシリーズの設計は、熱的および機械的安定性に優れているという利点も備えています。360°連続回転と精密な調整機能により、パドル式コントローラよりも優れた制御が可能で、より安定したプラットフォームとなり得ます。

Hello, we try to collimate a beam coming from a fiber P3-780PM-FC-1 using one of the fiber port on FBP-B-FC. However, it doesn't seem to collimate the beam. Here is what we did and result: 1.We prealigned the tilt plate so that it is orthogonal to the optical axis as suggested by the alignment procedure. 2. We adjusted the x-y adjusters such that the beam can go though a 1mm pin hole located at the center of the other fiber port on the bench. 3. We put a beam profiler at about 10cm away from the fiber port to measure the beam size. We found that when moving the beam profiler closer to the lens (to 8cm), the beam size is decreasing (to <0.43mm). 4. We turn the z adjusters clockwise by the same amount (1/4 turn) each time and found the beam size at 10cm always increasing. This seems to show that at the prealigned z position, the lens is still more than a focal length away from the fiber end. We doubt the lens is incorrectly mounted. Do you have any suggestions? We also tried to do fiber coupling on the other end starting from the prealigned position. However, we could only get <40% coupling by just turning the x-y adjusters while turning z adjusters will only decrease the coupling. (Our guess is that the prealigned position is not very stable as the z adjusters are just in contact with the tilt plate) Thank you!

Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. From your description, it is possible that the connector key on the fiber is not fully seating into the key receptacle on the FiberPort. I have reached out to you directly to troubleshoot further.

Hi, The insertion loss of the FBP-C-FC is 0.6dB. Is there a typical minimum loss of the PC-FFB-1550 at the best condition for reference? I adjusted it to the best condition was ~2dB loss. I would like to know if it could be better or it is just normal. Thank you. Jeff

Can I replace the HWP with a rotatable linear polarizer? I would like to use this setup for measurement of Stokes parameters of (pulsed) light in a fiber.

Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Yes, you can replace the HWP with a linear polarizer. I have reached out to you directly regarding this.

How to remove the quarter-wavelength plates on the Fiberbench Polarization Controller Kit? The accessory screw-drivers are not matched with the screws under the waveplates.
YLohia  (posted 2018-11-30 08:37:24.0)
The waveplate module does not need any screw drivers to be removed from the FiberBench -- you can simply pull it off by hand. I have reached out to you via email to get more details on what you're attempting to do.

Could you explain the working principle of your FiberBench Polarization Controller Kit for incident light with linear polarization? I see two borderline cases: 1. input pol axis not aligned to material axis of 1st l/4 plate -> elliptically polarized light -> counter clockwise elliptically polarized light after l/2 plate -> linearly polarized light after 2nd l/4 plate 2. input pol axis aligned to material axis of 1st l/4 plate -> linearly polarized light -> pol axis is rotated about 2 alpha after l/2 plate -> elliptically or linearly polarized light after 2nd l/4 plate depending on rotation So could you describe a practical procedure how to control the polarization state with this setup deterministically? And what is the advantage compared to using a single l/2 plate? Thanks, Thomas

Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. A 1/4 retarder will transform any elliptical state into a linear state. The 1/2 wave will then rotate the axis of any incident state. If you have fiber in and free space out then you could get by with 1/4, 1/2 to produce any state at any orientation. If you output to SM fiber then you need 1/4, 1/2, 1/4 and the last 1/4 will undo any ellipticity that the output fiber introduces into the beam A practical way to control your polarization state for example would be say using a PM fiber with linearly polarized light input onto the first quarter waveplate. If you align the input linear polarized light to 45º of the fast or slow axis of the first quarter waveplate your output will become circularly polarized. After the first quarter waveplate you can then use the half waveplate to change from left hand circularly polarized light to right hand and vice versa. The position of the fast and slow axis of the half waveplate will not matter. Of course if your linear polarization is not aligned at 45º to your quarter waveplates axis you will get an elliptical state. Assuming you maintain circular polarization (right hand) upon the half waveplate then change your circular polarization to left hand circular, once your left hand circular beam is incident on the second quarter waveplate you can change back to linear polarization but with the plane of polarization rotated by 90 degrees, in other words changing your initial vertical linear polarization to horizontal polarization or vice versa. The advantage to this setup compared to just using a single half waveplate is that if only using a half waveplate with a linearly polarized source you can only rotate the orientation of the linear polarization but not change from linear to circular or an elliptical state. In order to get and elliptical state or change from linear to circularly polarized light you will need a combination of quarter and half waveplates.

Hello: I am interested in your "FiberBench Polarization Controller Kit" products(PC-FFB-1550). Could you please give us the product's spec. (We want to know the PER of this element). Thank you~ Hua-Kung Chiu
tfrisch  (posted 2017-10-06 04:00:13.0)
Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The waveplates will change the polarization state, but not the degree of polarization. I will reach out to you directly to discuss how you might define PER for a system like this, but the degree of polarization should be very similar on the input and output.

Dear Concern person, Could you explain more detail about "FiberBench Polarization Controller Kit". I can use it for connector PR measurement ,Right? Do you have another connector adapter for change? (LC , SC , MU etc...) Best regards, Pinyo Somean

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to ygyang2004: Thank you very much for contacting us. The components in the PC-FFB-1550 polarization controller can certainly be disassembled. Also, we can offer a version with different components as required in your application (we actually use the PAF-X-2-C in this controller). Keep in mind that at different wavelengths the resulting insertion loss will most likely be different. I will contact you directly for further support.

Hello. Im Yoon seok Yang in ajou university master course. I wonder that PC-FFB-1550, fiber bench model can be separated. And I wonder that PC-FFB-1550 model can be assemble with another component(for example PAF-X-2-C-Fiberport, PCB-2.5-VIS etc..). Customer Email: ygyang2004@ajou.ac.kr
