Luna’s

Polarization Analysis Software

can be used to

display the response of an optical component to a simulated
input polarization state. This software, combined with the
measurement data from Luna’s Optical Vector Analyzer™,
eliminates the tedious and difficult task of polarization
alignment often required for measurement of today’s
advanced optical components.

The software plots the insertion loss, group delay and impulse
response of an optical component to a user defined input
polarization state. Easy-to-use sliders allow the user to adjust
the simulated input polarization to any desired state.

Also plotted are the minimum and maximum insertion loss,
and the group delay and chromatic dispersion of the principle
states of polarization (PSP). In a separate graph, the
software displays all of the polarization averaged quantities
(IL, GD, CD, etc.) as well as PMD, PDL, Jones matrix
elements and time domain information. All of the generated
data can be saved for export to other plotting and analysis
packages.
