全自动消光比测试系统 详情介绍Polarization Extinction Ratio and Axis Angle Measurement System for Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Arrays
DESCRIPTION：描述
InLine Photonics offers a measurement system for determining the polarization extinction ratio (PER) and axis angle of polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber array components, including as fiber array units (FAUs), MTP/MPO PM fiber cords, and PM fiber v-grooves. The system includes a broadband light source with MPO/APC and FC/AP C output connectors, a multi-fiber polarizing cable, a PER meter (CUBE-ER100), and a 16mm or 30mm lens c age system, together with an MPO or v-groove holder. Each component can be customized to meet the specific customer requirements.
