The operation screen for the SOP waveform function is shown below:
CHANNEL: 4
Amp: _ _0.0V
F: _ _0.0 Hz
W: Sine
Use the left and right arrows to move the cursor and the up and down arrows to
change settings or values at the current cursor position.
CHANNEL: Select polarization controller channel to be controlled. Use up
and down arrows to scroll through CH 1-4.
Amp:
Set amplitude for waveform for selected channel.
Range: 0.0-150V
F:
Set frequency for waveform for selected channel.
Range: 0.0-120 Hz.
W:
Select waveform type for selected channel.
Use up and down arrows to scroll through choices:
Sine, Triangle, Square.
When the waveform parameters are set up for all channels to be used, press the
ENTER key to begin waveform generation. The cursor will move to the lower
right of the screen during operation. Use the arrow keys to stop operation and
return to waveform setup.
4.2.5 WSOP:
After a static PMD state has been set using the PMDE function (either from discrete or
continuous mode), this function uses the PMDPro’s polarization controller to adjust the
input SOP to the PMD generation element to obtain the worst-case PMD effect based on
either of two methods.
In the first case, the input polarimeter reading is used to control the polarization
controller to align the input polarization state to achieve an equal power split between
polarization components aligned to the slow and fast axes of the PMD element, as shown
in the figure below.
