Instruments For Polarization Analysis

RPA 2000 - Polarization Analyzer

INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS was the first research and manufacturing company to launch a commercial polarization analyzer. The RPA 2000, now a second generation instrument, allows you to plug in and measure every polarization parameter of either free-space or fiber-guided radiation. Measurement results are presented as an ellipse diagram or using the Poincaré sphere. IS-Polar software controls the RPA2000 and displays the measured parameters in a variety of ways. Also controllable with ASCII commands, you can retrieve the Stokes parameters directly from the instrument using your own code. More Details ...       Complete Brochure RPA 2000 PDF

The removable measuring head in the RPA 2000 permits extremely flexible configurations. Different measuring heads permit analysis of spectral ranges from 190-1700 nm or 8-12 µm.

PCT 2000 - Polarization Component Tester

This turn-key system is based on the RPA 2000 polarization analyzer and the PCT 2000 polarization controller. Various sample stages are available including an automated XY positioning system and a goniometric sample stage. The PCT 2000 is used for measuring stress birefringence, phase retardation at waveplates, and for determining the Jones/Müller matrix of optical components and systems.
