The Agilent 11896A Motorized Polarization Controller covers a wide wavelength range (1250 - 1640 nm) for measuring optical components, and its optical fiber loop design provides all states of polarization with extremely small optical insertion loss variations. This performance combination maximizes measurement accuracy for power-sensitive applications like PDL and gain measurements.

The Agilent 11896A adjusts polarization and not power. Its optical fiber loop design provides all states of polarization with extremely small optical insertion-loss variations (±0.002 dB) over a wide spectral range (1250 to 1600 nm). This performance combination maximizes measurement accuracy for power-sensitive applications like polarization-dependent loss and gain. This is because the measurement uncertainty contributed by the polarization controller is minimized.
