PA-1000
The PA-1000 is a computer-controlled fiber coupled polarization analyzer, consisting of a calibrated polarization controller followed by either a linear polarizer or a polarization beam splitter. Four or more variable waveplates with their optical axes oriented at 45˚ angles with respect to each other perform the polarization control. It is typically used to select the desired basis state when measuring polarization entangled states of light. The PA-1000 can operate a stand-alone device that is controlled via a USB port, or it can be integrated with additional equipment such as the NuCrypt CPDS-1000 detection system and NuCrypt Quantum System Control Software to enable automated quantum measurements like two-photon interference (TPI) fringes and quantum state tomographies (QST).
