Polarization Maintaining Fiber

A Polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) output is standard for Agilent
81950A Compact TLS modules.
PMF is aligned to maintain the state of polarization. A well defined state of
polarization helps ensure constant measurement conditions.
The fiber is of Panda type, with TE mode in the slow axis in line with the
