AFS-A/SFS-A/AGI-A/ASI-A/UVS-H2A Aluminium Coated High Temperature Fibers

Product information "AFS-A/SFS-A/AGI-A/ASI-A/UVS-H2A Aluminium Coated High Temperature Fibers"

Aluminium Coated, Single Mode, Multi Mode; 190 to 2400 nm; Core Diameter 50 to 400 µm; Mode Field Diameter 4.3, 9.0 µm; Cladding Diameter 125 to 440 µm; Numerical Aperture 0.12 to 0.275

Fiberguide’s AFS-A/SFS-A/AGI-A/ASI-A/UVS-H2A series of aluminium coated fibers are designed for a wide temperature range (-269 to +400 °C) and superior strength (>100 kpsi). This allows for long life at extended stress levels in applications that require tight bends. Also, the strong chemical bond between the silica cladding and the aluminum enables direct termination without pistoning.

This bond also makes aluminium coating the ideal choice to preserve deep UV performance in Fiberguide’s Solarguide UVS-H2A series of solarization resistant UV multi mode fiber.

Within this series of aluminium coated high temperature fibers, users find step index (AFS/SFS, UVS-H2) and graded index (AGI) multi mode fibers as well as anhydrous silica (ASI) single mode fibers.

As an option, some types of aluminium coated high temperature fibers can be provided with a broad selection of shaped tips – standard configurations as well as custom designed shapes. Shaped tip fibers provide optimum control over beam delivery and/or increased efficiency of light collection.

Some of the fibers can also be end capped to achieve higher coupled power into a fiber core by reducing the power density at the air / silica interface, commonly the point of laser damage. End cap diameters and lengths are offered for select numerical apertures and fiber cores size, but can be easily customized for a variety of fiber types and specialized applications.

Additionally, all fiber types can be equipped on demand with Fiberguide’s patented RARe Motheye anti-reflective technology that enhances fiber transmission performance and significantly increases the damage threshold for your application over a large wavelength range.

PSY-201 Polarization Synthesizer/Analyzer
1280-1620 nm; SOP Sampling Rate ≤4 MHz; Analog Bandwidth 1 MHz; Input Power Dynamic Range 45 dB; IL ≤1.6 dB; PDL <0.25 dB; PMD <0.1 ps; RL 45, 55 dBLunas’ PSY-201 deterministic polarization synthesizer/analyzer generates and maintains any state of polarization (SOP), regardless of the input SOP. It combines General Photonics’ patented controller, polarimeter, and control algorithms into an instrument that functions as both an SOP generator and a polarization analyzer.The generated SOP and the corresponding Poincaré representation are displayed on a PC via USB interface. Output SOP can be defined by Stokes parameters, by manually tuning the SOP to any point on the Poincaré sphere or by optimizing a polarization-dependent metric. Once a desired output SOP is found, the instrument maintains the SOP against input SOP fluctuations.The user can generate 6 distinct SOPs (0°, 90°, ±45°, RHC and LHC) for Mueller matrix calculations, or select any of the 6 states at the touch of a button.The PSY-201 polarization synthesizer/analyzer contains programmed SOP traces of common polarization variations. It can also function as a polarization scrambler, generating SOP scans with user-defined parameters and, with the internal polarization controller disabled, it can function as an in-line polarimeter, displaying the instantaneous SOP and DOP of the input light beam.Features include a data logging function for long-term measurement of polarization changes of up to 1 billion points, long-term SOP monitoring, SOP markers for angle measurement and a "SOP replay" function in sphere display mode, as well as extended triggering capability in oscilloscope mode. PSY-201 puts all of the tools necessary for polarization management at your fingertips.Key Features:Sampling Rate: Up to 4M SOP (State of Polarization) Samples/sAnalog Bandwidth: 1 MHzInput Power Dynamic Range: 45 dBOperating Wavelength Range: 1480 to 1620 nm, 1280 to 1314 nmReal-time Poincaré Sphere DisplayHigh-speed SOP Generation and TrackingHigh-speed Analog Output of SOP & DOP (Degree of Polarization)Data Logging of SOP Changes up to 1 Billion PointsMaximum Insertion Loss (IL): 1.6 dBReturn Loss: 45, 55 dBPolarization Dependent Loss (PDL): <0.25 dB Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD): <0.1 psOperating Power Range: -35 to +10 dBmApplications: Polarization Sensitivity Analysis of Receivers; Monitoring of System SOP/DOP; PER Measurement; Polarization Generation and Stabilization; Sensor System Characterization; 100G System Characterization
