Ligthwave Polarization Controller 1250-1600 nm, GPIB

The Agilent (now Keysight) 11896A Motorized Polarization Controller covers a wide wavelength range (1250 - 1600 nm) for measuring optical components, and its optical fiber loop design provides all states of polarization with extremely small optical insertion loss variations. This performance combination maximizes measurement accuracy for power-sensitive applications like PDL and gain measurements.
