Section 3. Feature Descriptions:
3.1 Optical Features:
The POS-002 polarization tracker has two optical fiber connectors: an input connector to
receive the input light beam and an output connector to couple the polarization optimized
light beam downstream. The input/output fiber connector type can be specified by the
user when the module is ordered.
All fiber connectors should be cleaned using industry standard cleaning methods before
making connections to the POS-002.
There are two output fiber options for POS-002 modules: PM output fiber and single
mode (SM) output fiber, as shown in Figure 3 (a and b). The two output options have
different features.
The internal feedback POS-002 has PM fiber output. In this configuration, a linear
polarizer is inserted in the optical path. Therefore, the output SOP is fixed, and is aligned
to the slow axis (default) or fast axis (if the user specifies it) of a PM fiber. With the
POS-002 disabled, the output power can fluctuate if the input SOP changes. Once the
tracker is enabled, the output power will be stabilized along with the SOP. The PM fiber
output version of the POS-002 is extremely useful when the fiber-optic
component/system following it has PM fiber at the input. Examples include electro-optic
modulators or PM coupler/combiners.
The external feedback POS-002 has SM fiber output. In this configuration, there is no
polarizer in the output optical path. Therefore, the output optical power is a constant.
Once the tracker is enabled, the output SOP will be actively adjusted to optimize the
parameter of interest. If the feedback signal is set up for SOP stabilization, this means
that the SOP will be confined to a tiny circle on the Poincaré sphere centered on the
target SOP. This configuration is useful when the fiber optic system following the POS-
002 has SM fiber at the input.

stabilization in optical power, and (b) fixed output power with stabilization in SOP
For internal feedback units, the maximum input optical power is approxi20dBm
(100 mW). For optical power higher than 20 dBm (100 mW), please contact General
Photonics, or specify when ordering.
