The MAP-200 Polarization Control Module (mPCX-C1) provides polarization scrambling, control and stabilization for use in applications such as temporal depolarization, 100G+ coherent interface testing as well as stabilization and tracking of target SOP conditions

　　The Multiple Application Platform (MAP-200) Polarization Control Module (mPCX-C1) is a single slot high speed polarization scrambler, controller and stabilizer. Based on Lithium-Niobate, the electro-optic waveplates have the response time required by the most demanding polarization management applications. With the rise of coherent modulation formats and polarization multiplex systems - there is a new premium on understanding the way the polarization state of these signals interacts with single mode fiber. The MPCX-C1 is designed to enable these tests, not only in the laboratory, but also in the transition of these tests into a manufacturing environment.
