FDE-002 Fixed Differential Group Delay

Product information "FDE-002 Fixed Differential Group Delay"

1550 nm; DGD 0-45 ps; RL 55 dB; IL 0.8 dB; Fiber Type SMF-28; PDL <0.2 dB

General Photonics’ FDE-002 fixed differential group delay (DGD) artifacts eliminate the need for precise measurement of polarization maintaining (PM) fiber lengths to add defined amounts of first order PMD to a system.

DGD values of up to 45 ps are available in the FDE-002 fixed differential group delay standard size package. Larger DGD values are also available by special request.

Key Features:

  • Large 1st Order PMD: up to 45 ps
  • Low Insertion Loss (IL): <1 dB (0.8 dB Typical)
  • Operating Wavelength: 1550 ± 50nm
  • DGD Value: 0 to 45 ps Standard, Larger Values on Request
  • DGD Calibration Accuracy: ±(1 fs + DGD x 0.5%)
  • Insertion Loss (intrinsic): < 1 dB (0.8 dB typical)
  • Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL): <0.2 dB
  • Return Loss (RL): 55 dB
  • Power Handling: >300 mW
  • Fiber Type: SMF-28
  • Dimensions: 108 × 7.9 x 7.9 mm

Applications: PMD Emulation; PMD Compensation; TDM Bit Alignment
