The automatic PER Meter is a new generation of precision optical detection instruments. It can measure the extinction ratio of optical fibers, polarization-maintaining devices, polarization angle of light sources, polarization-maintaining fibers and optical components, power consumption, and advanced axis angles with remarkable precision and speed.
The powerful and easy to use software, and newly developed automatic polarization function make the test faster and more convenient.
