FF Fixed Filters
Pigtail or Removable Style; 400 to 2100 nm; Line Width 0.3 nm; Insertion Loss 0.6 dB; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; Connector Type FC/PC, ST, SC, LC, MU, None 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 filters, BTF-11 series of manually adjustable variable bandwidth tunable filters or BTF-100 series of motorized adjustable variable bandwidth tunable filters.

WDM SM WDMs
Single Mode WDMS, Pigtail, Miniature and Freespace to Fiber Style; 400 to 1600 nm; Return Loss 40, 50, 60 dB; Insertion Loss 0.8, 1.0, 1.2 dB; Power Handling 200, 500 mW OZ Optics’ WDM series of single mode wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs) are used to combine light of different wavelengths into a single fiber. The light from each fiber is first collimated. The collimated beams are then combined using a dichroic filter, with typically the longer wavelength transmitted from port T, the shorter wavelength reflected from port R. The combined beams are then focused into the output fiber at Port 1. OZ Optics manufacturers wave division multiplexers for both telecom and non-telecom applications. One advantage of OZ Optics’ WDMs is that different fiber types can be used on the input and output ends of the device. This is especially useful in fiber amplifier applications, when the Erbium doped fibers have a different core diameter and numerical aperture. WDMs with 1 dB typical insertion loss have been made this way. OZ Optics also offers source to fiber wavelength division multiplexers, where the sources are mounted directly onto the device. Miniature size WDMs are ideal for telecommunication applications such as drop/add filters for either coarse WDM (CWDM) or dense WDM (DWDM) applications. They are also used for combining 980 to 1080 nm pump light with 1550 nm signals in erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). Variants with higher extinction ratios are available on request. OZ Optics specializes in manufacturing custom designed WDM's. Contact AMS Technologies for further information. Key Features: Wide Wavelength Range: 375 to 2,000 nm Visible Wavelength (R/G/B) Versions High Power Handling Low Insertion and Return Loss Coarse (CWDM) and Dense (DWDM) WDM Versions Miniature Inline Versions Applications: Fluorescence Microscopy; Confocal Microscopy; Laser Spectroscopy; Fiber Lasers; Erbium Doped Amplifiers; Imaging Systems; Drop/Add Filters for Telecommunications; 980 nm Pumping; OCT Systems
