OZ Optics’ FF series of fixed filters transmit or block specific wavelengths of light as they travel through the optical fiber. Light from the input fiber is first collimated and passed through the filter. The beam is then focused into the output fiber.

Filter linewidths are normally defined in terms of full width at half maximum (FWHM). The standard filters used have a smooth, rounded transmission spectrum that is the result of a single Fabry Perot type cavity, simply made up of two reflectors separated by a fixed spacer of some thickness.

Other filter designs are available. For instance, flat top bandpass filters are made by stacking multiple cavities together. By increasing the number of cavities one can increase the roll-off slope therefore improving the out-of-band rejection level. Please contact AMS Technologies for custom filter designs that meet your requirements.

Fixed filters using single mode (SM), multi mode (MM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fibers are offered. In general, OZ Optics uses polarization maintaining fibers based on the PANDA fiber structure when building polarization maintaining components and patch cords. However, OZ Optics can construct devices using other PM fiber structures. OZ Optics also carries some alternative fiber types in stock, please contact AMS Technologies for availability. If necessary, OZ Optics is willing to use customer supplied fibers to build devices.

For tunable filters refer to OZ Optics’ TF-100 series of digital tunable filters, TF-100-11 series of motor driven tunable filters, TF-11 series of manually adjustable polarization insensitive tunable filtersBTF-11 series of manually adjustable variable bandwidth tunable filters or BTF-100 series of motorized adjustable variable bandwidth tunable filters.

AA Fiber Adapters
Universal Adapters; Connector Type (Super, Ultra) NTT-FC/PC, SMA 905/906, AT&T-ST, (Angled) SC, Universal; Fiber Type Single Mode (Hybrid Patchcord, Lens Style), Multi Mode (Lens Style) OZ Optics’ AA series of universal connectors and hybrid patchcords are designed for mating two patchcords that have different connectors on their ends. Butt joint style universal connectors feature different female receptacles on either side. Patchcords are simply plugged into either side, and the fiber ends butt together in the middle. These connectors offer an inexpensive and reliable way to connect matching single mode, multi mode, or polarization maintaining patchcords with differing fiber terminations. Connectors with a universal ferrule adaptor design are also available, for connectors that have 2.5 mm diameter ferrules, or 1.25 mm diameter ferrules. These receptacles are best suited for temporary measurements and give added flexibility. Hybrid patchcords have a female receptacle on one side and a male connector on the other side. A small length of fiber lies within the device to transmit the light. Male-to-male hybrid patchcords are also available. Lens style universal connectors are ideal for connecting fibers that have different optical characteristics. They consist of an input receptacle, a collimating lens, a focusing lens and the output receptacle. Light from the input fiber is first collimated, then focused back into the output fiber. The alignment is precisely controlled using OZ Optics’ patented alignment technique. Lens style universal connectors are tilt adjustable to compensate for any offsets between the fiber cores and the connector housings. Please note that universal connectors will not couple light efficiently from a multi mode fiber into a single mode fiber. High losses are unavoidable in this situation, since multi mode fibers have both larger numerical apertures and larger core sizes. Key Features: Mates Patchcords With Different Connector Types Connectors With Different Ferrule Sizes Supported Minimizes Losses Between Fibers With Different Core Sizes And Numerical Apertures Male To Female (Hybrid) Connector Versions Rugged And Compact Design Low Insertion and Return Losses Applications: Patch Panel Interconnects; Fiber Distribution Hubs; Test And Measurement Stations; Optical Delivery Systems
