2D Mode Solver Software

Product information "2D Mode Solver Software"

Wavelength Band UV-SWIR, 400-2150 nm; Scalar FEM Numerical Engine; Solution in Seconds; ASCII Fiber Profile Input & Data Output; System Requirements 64-bit MS Windows

Based on fiber refractive index profile data, Interfiber Analysis’ “2D Mode Solver” software package computes guided modes and mode properties, fiber bending/coiling effects, as well as mode coupling at splices. The software tool can analyze either 1-dimensional or 2-dimensional fiber index data so it can quantify the impact of any asymmetries in the fiber index profile.

With this tool, you can:

  • Compute 2-dimensional fiber modefields and mode properties
  • Predict mode coupling at fiber splices
  • Model fiber bending effects
  • Quantify impact of index profile asymmetries
  • Determine overlap between modes and cores
  • Analyze fiber, preform, or synthetic index profiles

These capabilities make the software particularly useful for customers working with high-power optical fibers. It is not only useful for existing IFA-100 users (who can use it to compute modes based on their IFA-100 data,) but also for those who use other equipment as it can be applied to fiber index data from other measurement devices (including preform profilers).

This very attractively priced software tool runs on MS Windows 64-bit computers, and unlike other competing software packages, we offer multiple licenses at the customer location for the price of a single purchase.

Key Features:

  • System Requirements: MS Windows 64-bit Computer
  • Numerical Engine: Scalar Finite Element Method (FEM)
  • Wavelength Band: UV to SWIR (400 nm to 2150 nm)
  • Solution Domain: 140 µm Diameter Disk
  • Solution Time: Seconds
  • Fiber Profile Input: ASCII Text Files (1- and 2-dimensional)
  • Data Output: ASCII Text, PNG or PDF Images
  • Computed Mode Properties: Electric Field, Optical Intensity, Effective Index, Group Index, Dispersion, Mode Field Diameter, Effective Area

Applications: Computing of Guided Modes, Mode Properties, Fiber Bending/Coiling Effects, Mode Coupling at Splices

KI 2600 Series Handheld Optical Power Meters
Optical Power -70-+33 dBm; 600-1700 nm; Accuracy 1%; Display mW, μW, nW, dB, dBm; Detector InGaAs, Ge; Resolution 0.01 dB Kingfisher’s KI 2600 Series handheld fiber meters measure absolute or relative light levels and test tones and are used by professional installers and contractors to test power, loss, continuity and faults on all types of fiber optic systems. Superior measurement confidence is achieved through a combination of excellent basic accuracy, intuitive use and rugged reliability. KI 2600 Series power meters have comprehensive report generation capabilities and a variety of useful features for productivity. Various detector options cover power levels from +33 to -70 dBm, all useful wavelengths, many connector styles including duplex / ribbon, and large core POF fiber. The meter displays mW, μW, nW, dB, dBm to 0.01 dB resolution, with no range-changing delays. A separate reference for each wavelength is stored and displayed. Superior high-power performance is achieved. Autotest provides fast, easy and automatic multi λ (wavelength) loss testing up to 6 wavelengths, with up to 3 wavelengths displayed simultaneously, along with the respective source nominal power levels. Any Kingfisher Autotest light source/LTS with matching wavelength can be used. Unique in the industry, the tight total uncertainty specification covers all power levels, temperatures, connectors and fibers, without warm-up or user dark current offset. Calibration is ISO 17025 traceable. Interchangeable connectors are dust and drop protected. SC adaptors are supplied, with others available including small form factor LC styles. Metal-free adaptors avoid contamination of connectors in high-power systems. Loss test results can be stored in the large memory, along with a user-input cable name and time stamp. Results can be copied onto a USB memory key with one button push. Alternatively, live readings can be put directly onto a customer report computer using KITS™ customizable Excel-based reporting software. Reports can be easily customized for any terminology, language or format. KITS™ also provides a one-button file dump to a PC with Windows OS. When used with Multi-fiber ID sources, the Multi-fiber ID tone feature uniquely identifies up to 12 fibers, in addition to common test tones. The VFL (Visible Fault Locator) option offers simple fault finding and continuity testing. Flexible power options include a choice of batteries, with a jumper selectable battery charger. External power is provided via USB. For optical power meters with large area optical detectors up to +33 dBm for testing e.g. ribbon fiber, MPO/MT/MTP and MTRJ, large core fiber such as POF, fiber bundles, high power pump lasers, other general optical applications etc., please refer to Kingfisher’s KI 2600XL Series.
