- Boston Applied
Technologies Incorporated (BATI), a leading developer of light
intensity and polarization management products, today announced
the introduction of Acrobat Polarization Rotators (PR)
for polarization rotation. Based on the recent breakthrough
in OptoCeramicTM materials, Acrobat Polarization
Rotator provides a continuously rotation of any polarized
light with the applied control voltage while maintains its
own polarization information. The device acts as a half-wave
plate with a rotating axis. This device contains no moving
parts and offers high speed, continuous polarization rotation
with low insertion loss. Same as other polarization management
devices in the Acrobat family, this device meets or
exceeds Telcodia GR1221 and GR1209 specifications. The applications
of Acrobat Polarization Rotator include polarization
switching and rotating, polarization multiplexing of optical
networks, and polarization management for instrumentation
and laboratory. Both free-space and fiber in-line versions
are available, with wavelength range from visible to mid-infrared.
