✦ Synopsis
We demonstrate a low-cost mechanical polarization scrambler capable of near 100 kHz scrambling speed using a single modified Lefe `vre controller. By reusing the same controller, many sections can be implemented and the scalability promises higher scrambling rates. The design is wideband, polarization-independent and low-loss providing a degree of polarization of <5%.
