Intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) Software

The NRT-3000 control software has three modes of operation: (1) Poincaré Sphere Mode, (2) Strip Chart Mode and the new (3) Histogram Mode. The first two modes have many functionalities already familiar, including real time streaming of SOP, Power, DOP, tilt and ellipticity. The NRT-3000 adds real-time calculation of the SOP speed, dSOP/dt, in the Strip Chart mode.

 

The third mode of the NRT-3000 GUI displays two histograms: one for the SOP speed, dSOP/dt, and the second histogram for the Stokes parameters, S₁, S₂, S₃.

 

Applications

1. Observe SOP changes

2. Tandem use with the NRT-2500 Polarization Control Platform

2. Montior and capture SOP changes in the network
