(a) All polarization specifications are valid for optical powers from -40 dBm to +3 dBm (0.0001 mW to 1.995 mW).
(b) Two samples per complete turn of the rotating quarter-wave plate are acquired and averaged. The motor drive speed is 60 Hz.
(c) One sample per half turn of the rotating quarter-wave plate and 200 Hz motor drive speed. Operating at this rate requires the polarimeter be powered using the included DS15 external power supply.
(d) SOP: States of Polarization
(e) For any SOP with -30° < Ellipticity < 30°
(f) DOP: Degree of Polarization
(g) If you would rather recieve a fiber collimator that accepts FC/APC connectors, please contact Tech Support. The F240APC series collimators for FC/APC connectors are also available separately.
(h) Power supplied via the USB port enables operation between 50 and 100 Samples/s. Use the included DS15 power supply to operate at higher rates.
Note: All technical specifications are valid at 23 ± 5°C and 45 ± 15% non-condensing relative humidity.
