Full description

The National Research Council Canada requires the supply of a polarization synthesizer
capable of generating and controlling well-defined, rapidly varying polarization states to
enable accurate characterization and testing of polarization-dependent components. A
polarization synthesizer provides deterministic and programmable control of SOP,
enabling reproducible laboratory emulation of real-world polarization effects. The
Polarization Synthesizer should be designed to deliver high-speed, precise polarization
control, making it a valuable tool for validating polarization-sensitive devices and
improving the reliability and performance of optical communication and photonic
technologies.
