Polarization controller
The PPC programmable controller is an instrument that integrates polarization control function and polarization disturbance function in Dimension Technology, and is an important testing instrument for optical passive testing systems.
Polarization disturbance function: Based on high-speed optoelectronic materials as phase controllers, three boards are guided at different angles to convert any polarization input state into a random polarization state, covering the Poincare sphere at high speed, and finally outputting a stable circularly polarized light. It has excellent performance with low insertion loss and high disturbance frequency. Its deviation frequency can reach up to 5MHz.
Polarization control function: By controlling the signal, different polarization states of light can be output, and polarization state scanning can be controlled through software. Combined with the high-speed optical power meter synchronous sampling of Dimension Technology, it can perform high-speed automated testing on the polarization correlation of optical devices, with a maximum scanning speed supporting 10kHz.
| Main advantages
Dual functions of perturbation and polarization control
High speed scrambling function (MAX=5MHz)
Polarization control range: 0-4 π per channel
High speed polarization state scanning (10kHz)
Serial port instruction control |
High speed optical power meter
When the optical power changes rapidly, accurately and quickly capturing the optical power value is a great challenge for optical power meters. When traditional optical power meters cannot meet the requirements of high-speed and accurate measurement, high-speed optical power meters have emerged. Traditional optical power meters take up a lot of time in power value integration and range switching in order to meet the requirements of measuring numerical accuracy and large dynamic range. Therefore, they cannot quickly and accurately output effective optical power values. Therefore, they cannot meet the application requirements of high-speed automation testing systems and high-speed monitoring systems.
The Dimensionality Technology high-speed optical power meter series modules ensure both high-speed power output and meet the needs of a large dynamic range at high speeds in terms of principle design and device selection.

Detection of end face defects
Using a high magnification optical microscope, Dimension has a series of end face defect detection schemes, which can be divided into two types: by manually observing the image of the device end face, the quality, defects, scratches, or other issues of the end face can be observed. This is the simplest and most intuitive method, but it has certain limitations and is influenced by the operator's sense of responsibility and experience. Through intelligent analysis and the use of automated algorithms for image processing and analysis, it is possible to efficiently detect issues such as scratches or defects on device end faces. It can provide more accurate detection results, which is conducive to analyzing and controlling quality, unaffected by personnel operation factors, and saves time and cost of manual inspection.
There are two perspectives on application scenarios: in the production and manufacturing process, it is suitable for desktop applications, stable, reliable, and convenient; On site application, suitable for portability, easy to carry, easy to operate, with a variety of interface types available for various port types.
