Please see page FO-31 for a description
of the SOP Module. This, mounted on
a FiberBench, is used to generate
4 states of polarization. The heart of the SOP Module is
an assembly containing a PCB Linear
Polarizer and an RZB-1/4 Retarder.
The Module is set in the appropriate
positions to generate the States of
Polarization.
SOP* Reference (Patent 6,061,190)
State
Position
Linear Horizontal (0°)
No. 1 is up
Linear Vertical (90°)
No. 2 is up
Linear (45°)
No. 3 is up
Circular, right
No. 4 is up and rotated
These are wavelength specific. Therefore,
specify wavelength when ordering

Linear Polariztion Reference (O°, 45°, 90° and 135°)
The Linear Polarization Reference establishes a reference plane, starting at 0°, and then at every 45°. The LP Reference consists of a PCB Linear Polarizer in an SOP Module, held in a Capture Cage.
