Product information "FOR/FOFM Pigtail-Style Faraday Rotators and Mirrors"

Center Wavelength 633-1550 nm; Typ. Insertion Loss 0.5-0.8 dB; Return Loss 40, 60 dB; Polarization Extinction Ratio 20-30 dB; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; Rotation Angle @Center Wavelength 45°

OZ Optics’ FOR/FOFM pigtail-style Faraday rotators change the polarization state of light traveling through them. The output polarization state is rotated by 45 degrees with respect to the input polarization.

When combined with a mirror, the reflected light is rotated by another 45 degrees, resulting in a 90 degree rotation. In addition, the polarization handedness is reversed by the mirror. This results in a reflected polarization that is orthogonal to the original polarization. This is useful when used in interferometers, because polarization changes through the fiber are cancelled out on the return journey.

Different Faraday rotator materials are applicable to different wavelengths. At 1300 nm to 1600 nm, small powerful rotators allow for very compact packages. From 633 nm to 1064 nm, less powerful rotators materials requiring much longer lengths and larger magnets are used. This accounts for the wide range of package sizes for different wavelength regions. Rotation accuracy is very tightly controlled at 1300 nm to 1625 nm (standard ±3 degrees single pass — with ±1 degree available) but less controllable at lower wavelengths (±3 degrees standard).

Faraday rotator mirrors are readily available at telecom wavelengths (1300 nm to 1550 nm). For shorter wavelength applications where an Faraday mirror is required, it can be constructed using a Faraday rotator with a polarization maintaining fiber output pigtail and a polarization maintaining fiber pigtailed fixed reflector.

5A Chassis Mount Temp Controller PTC5K-CH

The PTC-CH Series Chassis Mount Temperature Controllers deliver the precision performance and long-term reliability you expect from a Wavelength Electronics temperature controller. PTC-CH Series controllers are found in such diverse applications as particle and droplet measurement, manufacturing machine vision systems, biomolecular interaction analysis, and more. The PTC-CH controllers operate from a single power supply between 4.5 V and 30 V, and a selection of models allows you to optimize the current output level for your application. The linear bipolar controller drives a Peltier thermoelectric cooler or a resistive heater, and the chassis-mount package integrates easily into OEM applications.PTC-CH controllers interface with a variety of temperature sensors, and the bias current is adjustable in order to maximize controller sensitivity and stability for your application. The compact chassis-mount design simplifies heatsinking and requires minimal space. PTC-CH controllers are quick to configure for your prototype project, and there are no surprises when it's time to integrate the controller into the final design. Practical Features For Real-World Conditions Built-in features make your product more robust to real-world operating conditions and minimize your electronics overhead: If the optional remote temperature setpoint signal is lost, the controller defaults to a standard "safe" temperature setpoint (25ºC when a 10 k Î© thermistor is used). The safe temperature can be changed at the factory; call for details. An on-board trimpot is used to set the output current limit to prevent over-driving the TEC, and helps protect your load from thermal runaway situations. Proportional gain is easily adjusted with an on-board trimpot. Low temperature coefficient design remains stable across a wide range of ambient conditions.When used with Wavelength's laser drivers, such as the PLD Series, these temperature controllers provide stable and reliable performance that sets your system apart from your competitors' and keeps your customers satisfied. Key Features Drive up to ±2.5, ±5.0, or ±10.0 A of linear bipolar TEC or heater current Add a booster unit to drive up to ±20.0 A Single supply operation: 5 to 30 VDC Small package: 3.0" x 3.2" x 1.1" Use a wide variety of temperature sensors Remote Output and Setpoint controls Short term stability: 0.0012°C Long term stability: 0.002°C Selectable sensor bias current Adjustable current limit Failsafe Setpoint default in case of remote temperature setpoint signal error
