Automatic extinction ratio measurement device PCA2000B
A Polarization Crosstalk Analyzer / PCA2000B enables you to analyze INSTANTLY! the polarization state such as an extinction ratio and azimuth angles and observe in REAL TIME! See the results on the monitor or an external CRT.

PCA2000B excels especially in monitoring and studying the polarization characteristics of various optical devices, and it is really convenient to use for in-site measurements of a polarization state.
Feature
- Extinction ratio (dB), principle axis angle and elliplicity angle are displayed in real time.
- Extinction ratios of a laser beam propagating in free space and the beam issuing from a fiber can be measured easily.
- Use of thin-type head for PT1100 (option) enables measurement inside a gap of 20 mm.
- External CRT can be connected to PT 1100 for graphical display.
- A printer can be connected for printing data.
- Connection through RS-232C increases efficiency and allows automatic measurement.
