MPX 2010 Multifunction Polarization Controller

The MPX 2010 is a lossless polarization controller and scrambler, specifically designed for manufacturing test applications, offering a polarization scrambling speed of up to 40,000 SOPs/second.

Featuring an all-fiber design with ultra-low Insertion Loss (IL), Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL), and Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD), the MPX 2010 delivers precise control over polarization for a wide range of applications. These include SOP variation emulation, circulating loop studies, PDL measurement, and system polarization assessments.

Thanks to its all-fiber construction, the MPX 2010 platform supports a broad range of wavelengths across the O, C, and L bands (1260-1620 nm) in a single unit, while handling high power levels of up to 1 Watt. An additional version is also available, designed to cover polarization control requirements over the 980-1310 nm wavelength range.

The MPX 2010 replaces the legacy MPC-201 instrument, offering improved performance in a compact design, making it ideal for integration into manufacturing test environments.
