ERM-202 : Polarization Extinction Ratio Meter (ERM)

The LUNA ERM-202 combines low noise circuitry with a high resolution stepper motor to achieve a PER dynamic range of 50 dB and angle resolution of 0.06°. It simultaneously measures PER, output power, and axis angle of the DUT. In addition, the dual channel version measures the power ratio of a device with two polarization maintaining (PM) outputs, such as a Y-branch fiber gyro IOC, PM coupler (PMC), or polarization beam splitter (PBS).
