Module enhances polarisation dependent testing

A new functional module has been added to Coherent Solutions’ MTP1000 modular test platform. The PolBlade adds automatic polarisation control functionality to the test automation platform. Its addition allows users to achieve remote operation and automation of polarisation dependent testing from one MTP1000 mainframe.

The user controls three voltage settings of the PolBlade to control the polarisation, or it can be put into scrambling mode which gives a fast and even coverage of all states of polarisation.

PolBlade comes with the benefit of flexible connectivity of the MTP1000 platform, such as USB and Ethernet connectivity, intuitive software controller and SCPI remote command support.
