Fiber Polarization Controllers

Source: Thorlabs Understanding Fiber Polarization Controllers Understanding Fiber Polarization Controllers Fiber-optic devices, such as interferometers, often require an adjustable state of polarization of light within a fiber. This is where fiber polarization controllers come into play. These devices are crucial for managing the polarization state of light, which can be affected by various factors including […]

Photoconductive Switches

Source: MDPI Understanding Photoconductive Switches What are Photoconductive Switches? A photoconductive switch is an electrical switch that operates based on the photoconductivity of a material. This means that the material’s electrical conductance increases when exposed to light. Typically, semiconductor materials are used for these switches. When light above the material’s band gap energy is absorbed,
