Fiber Optic Delivery System for Flow Visualization

Inside Diameter 15 to 450 µm; Outside Diameter 90 to 673 µm; Coating Polyimide; Temperature Range -190 to +350 °C; Tensile Strength >600 kpsi Fiberguide’s fused silica capillary tubing is used for micro-fluidics applications and in gas chromatography (GC) separation columns. These capillaries are coated with polyimide for mechanical stability and versatile uses. With inert surfaces and high purity, Fiberguide’s capillary tubing solutions provide a very high phase stability, while their peak mechanical stability leads to greater yield and more cost-efficient tubing. Based on the great flexibility combined with high tensile strength (>600 kpsi), these capillary tubing solutions are pressure resistant to 4,500 psi and allow very small radii during coiling with no kinking. They are impervious to chemicals, allowing usage in harsh environments. A wide range of internal and external diameters with tight tolerances allows users to select a capillary tubing solution that best suits their flow rate requirements. All capillaries can be easily cleaved or cut, allowing to adjust exactly the column length needed for interfacing. While the mirror smooth inner surface provides stable laminar flow profiles and good adherence, the capillary tubing solutions’ Polyimide coating is very durable and abrasion resistant.

Fixed or Variable; Receptacle or Pigtail Style; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; 400 to 1600 nm; Back Reflection 25 to 60 dB OZ Optics’ FORF series of fiber optic reflectors are used to reflect the light emerging from a fiber back in the reverse direction. They are used to build fiber interferometers, or with fiber fused splitters to measure back reflection within fiber optic components. They can also be used to measure the sensitivity of sources to back reflection from other devices, by providing reference reflection levels. This is very useful for deriving back reflection specifications for transmitters. Fiber optic reflectors consist of a fiber optic collimator and a mirror. The fiber output is first collimated, then it strikes the mirror and is reflected back into the collimator. The angle between the collimator and the mirror is adjusted using OZ Optics' patented tilt adjustment technique, until as much light as possible is reflected back into the fiber. Using this technique, reflectors with typical losses of only 0.6 dB can be constructed. A variable reflector is available that includes a blocking screw, to obtain variable reflection levels. This is achieved by partially blocking the collimated beam between the lens and the mirror. Both connector receptacle style and pigtail style reflectors are available. Connector receptacle style reflectors come with a female connector receptacle to allow the fibers to be easily changed. Pigtail style reflectors come with a fiber of your choice permanently attached to the collimating lens. This type of reflector is recommended for optimum coupling efficiency and stability. The other end of the fiber can be terminated with your choice of connector. OZ Optics also provides fibers with coated ends. Gold coatings are used to provide excellent broadband reflection for infrared wavelengths. Other coating materials are available for other wavelengths. The ends can have total reflecting, or partial reflecting/partial transmitting coatings. Contact AMS Technologies for further information. Reflectors are available for wavelengths from 400 to 1600 nm. Reflectors that operate at both 1300 and 1550 nm are available, with only a slight difference in insertion losses at both wavelengths. Broadband reflectors using achromatic lenses to collimate light at different wavelengths are available. Partially reflecting mirrors are also available, to partly transmit the light. The transmitted light can be coupled into an output fiber as an option, thus forming an in-line reflector. Contact AMS Technologies for further details.

This enables hermetic sealing of optical fibers to metal packages without costly metallization, thus reducing the cost and lead time of the whole packaging process. After processing, assemblies sealed with glass solder can easily meet the stringent humidity resistance, hermeticity, and strength demanded for component packaging. Custom configurations can be designed for specific applications, please contact AMS Technologies to select a design to fit your needs. GSP series glass solder preforms are compatible with single mode (SM), multi mode (MM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fibers in single fiber and ribbon constructions. To help use the glass solder preforms, OZ Optics can supply a basic resistive or inductive soldering station to solder preforms onto metal ferrules and fibers.

High Power; Insertion Loss <0.5 dB; Power Handling ≤50 W; Shutter Response Speed <5 ms; Shutter Electrical Interface 5 V TTL In response to increasing demand for high power handling fiber optic components, OZ Optics has developed the HPCR / AA-250 / SH-200 series of fiber optic shutters and connectors that incorporate smart sensors for safety interlocks. These shutter systems can be incorporated in high power handling components, including freespace-to-fiber and fiber-to-fiber coupling situations. For extreme power handing capabilities, the shutters can also incorporate additional beam dumps and/or heat sinks to safely absorb the blocked laser power. The key components that allow realization of smart shutters and safety interlocks are a series of proximity sensors and temperature sensors installed at suitable locations in the body of fiber optic assemblies. These provide the necessary electrical signals to alert the end user to take appropriate action.

Insertion Loss <0.5 dB A mode field adapter is an essential device to efficiently transfer light for a standard single mode (SM) fiber to the LP01 mode of large mode area (LMA) and low order mode multi mode (MM) fibers. The performance is greatly superior to using a regular splice, as an ordinary splice will produce a degraded quality output beam with a poor M2 factor. Mode field adapters also generate lower losses than ordinary splices, thus ensuring higher power transmission compared to regular splicing.

320 to 2100 nm; Tap Ratio 0.5 to 4%; Insertion Loss <0.05 to 0.3 dB; Return Loss >70 dB; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM, PC, Other; Power Handling 250 to 2000 mW With the OPM series, OZ Optics offers inline optical power monitors and tap couplers based on a revolutionary, patented technology. These taps and monitors provide a way to easily measure the signal intensity through an optical fiber in a simple, miniature package and are ideal for real time monitoring and feedback for optical amplifiers or WDM systems as well as for fiber optic sensors. Traditional monitoring systems typically use fused couplers to tap a fixed amount of light into another fiber that guides the optical power to a photodiode. This method is bulky and must be done using discrete components. In contrast, OZ Optics' OPM series of optical taps direct a controlled amount of light from the fiber core to the cladding surface where it can be directly monitored with high efficiency and very low loss. This inline tapping is accomplished without bending, shaping, or otherwise distorting the fiber. As a result, the tap can be directly incorporated into optical assemblies, without affecting the original functionality. While taps are directional in nature (ideal for monitoring traffic independently of signals travelling back through a network link), bi-directional versions are also available and can be provided on request. OPM taps can be fabricated into standard single mode (SM), polarization maintaining (PM), multi mode (MM), photonic crystal (PC) and other specialty fibers, for any design wavelength and with different tap ratios available upon request. OPM optical power monitors combine the optical tap design with a photodiode in an integrated package and are available in different configurations with Si and InGaAs detectors for different wavelength ranges. The devices produce a current proportional to the optical power within the fiber, and the small size and simple interface makes it very easy to design into optical hardware. Multiple channel power monitors for WDM applications are available upon request.
