Woburn, MA, September 18, 2003 - Boston Applied Technologies Incorporated (BATI), a leading developer of light intensity and polarization management products, today announced the introduction of Acrobat^TM Polarization Rotators (PR) for polarization rotation. Based on the recent breakthrough in OptoCeramic^® materials, Acrobat^TM Polarization Rotator provides a continuously rotation of any polarized light with the applied control voltage while maintains its own polarization information. The device acts as a half-wave plate with a rotating axis. This device contains no moving parts and offers high speed, continuous polarization rotation with low insertion loss. Same as other polarization management devices in the AcrobatTM family, this device meets or exceeds Telcodia GR1221 and GR1209 specifications. The applications of Acrobat^TM Polarization Rotator include polarization switching and rotating, polarization multiplexing of optical networks, and polarization management for instrumentation and laboratory. Both free-space and fiber in-line versions are available, with wavelength range from visible to mid-infrared.
