- Boston Applied Technologies
Incorporated (BATI), a leading developer of light intensity
and polarization management products, today announced the introduction
of a new generation of Acrobat Polarization Controller,
which utilizes the recent breakthrough in OptoCeramic® materials
to realize ultrafast polarization conversion. The new generation
device is capable of providing a polarization conversion in
less than 200 ns; which is nearly 100 times faster than the
first generation devices. Acrobat Polarization Controller
was introduced into the market three years ago by Corning Applied
Technologies, with features of high speed, low loss, smallest
footprint, solid state operation, and no moving parts. Today
the new generation of Acrobat sets a much higher standard
for polarization management components. Same as other polarization
management devices in the Acrobat family, this device
meets or exceeds Telcordia GR1221 and GR1209 specifications.
The applications of a high-speed polarization controller include
polarization scrambling, polarization multiplexing, polarization
generation, and polarization mode dispersion compensation.
