The OZ OPTICS HIPFOSS-02-3A-1550-1-ER-40 is a precision polarized fiber optic source operating at 1550 nm, engineered for demanding polarization characterization and extinction ratio measurements. Built around a Fabry-Perot laser architecture with integrated optical isolation, this source delivers 1 mW output power with exceptional polarization purity—extinction ratio ≥ 40 dB—and thermal stabilization to maintain output consistency across extended measurement windows. The rotatable polarizer permits dynamic polarization axis adjustment with negligible power variation (< 0.25 dB), making it ideal for PDL analysis, component qualification, and manufacturing test environments requiring traceable polarization control.
