OZ Optics’ MFPR series of handy and cost-effective motorized rotators enable precise control of the polarization states of a single optical stage or multi-stage system with multiple optical paths. These rotators can be controlled and synchronized to perform precise rotations sequentially or in parallel using a single compact control unit. The control unit is incorporated along with a processor and touch screen in a palm-sized enclosure to control multiple motors via an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). Plug-and-play features are realized and enabled via a customizable GUI regardless of the system complexity for demanding applications.

The input and output ports of a given stage can be fiber-connector receptacles, pinholes for free-space applications, or pigtailed with single mode, polarization maintaining or multimode fibers. The light beam is then directed through one or more rotators, where the polarization state (the electric field of the propagating wave) is manipulated via rotating waveplates, polarizer plates, polarizer prisms or polarization beam splitters with sub-degree resolution.

High-power optics, connectorized fibers for wide ranges of operating wavelengths are available. The software and the associated GUI can be modified upon request.

EP series laser diodes are available in a variety of industry standard and custom package types, as well as with wavelengths ranging from 657 to 2350 nm, suitable for sensing a broad range of chemical elements and substances: Calcium (Ca): 657 nm Oxygen (O2): 760 nm Rubidium (Rb): 780 nm Ytterbium (Yb): 1064 nm Hydrogen Fluoride (HF): 1278 nm Moisture (H2O): 1342 nm, 1392.5 nm, 1854 nm Ammonia (NH3), Acetylene (C2H2): 1512 nm Carbon Dioxide(CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S): 1578 nm Methane (CH4): 1654 nm Hydrocarbon Compounds like Propane or Butane (CxHx): 1692 nm Hydrochloric Acid (HCl): 1742 nm Carbon Dioxide(CO2): 2004 nm, 2051 nm, 2051 nm High-power Nitrous Oxide (N2O): 2108 nm Carbon Monoxide (CO): 2327 nm Eblana can also realize DM laser diodes for any custom wavelength requirements with a proven track record of success – please contact the AMS Technologies’ laser diode experts who are committed to ensuring that our customers realize the perfect gas sensing solution to meet their technical and commercial needs – every time. Laser-based gas sensing applications require excellent tuning characteristics. Eblana’s discrete mode lasers feature mode-hop free tuning over a minimum of 2 nm. Utilizing a standard Fabry-Perot ridge waveguide process to ensure high reliability and consistency, Eblana’s discrete mode (DM) technology achieves excellent side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) and a narrow linewidth below 2 MHz. Wavelength-selective features are etched using surface-level lithography to create single mode (SM) lasers, and a multiple quantum-well epitaxial structure is grown by MOCVD or MBE. Compared with traditional DFB approaches, Eblana’s discrete mode technology is regrowth-free and the wavelength selection material-agnostic.

LOR-220 OTDRs
520-1650 nm; Pulse Width 1 ns; Measurement Range 1.25-160 km; Fiber Type SM, MM, POF; Connector Type FC, SC, ST – APC or PC The LOR-220 series of fully portable stand-alone OTDRs is integrated in a Windows-based PC-platform with touchscreen interface. With the optical pulse width of only 1 ns, the LOR-220 series are the first truly portable high-resolution OTDRs specially designed for short-range multi mode (MM) or single mode (SM) fiber assemblies, found for example in airplanes, ships, automotive, defense, and similar applications. The LOR-220 is based on Luciol’s novel patented scanning photon-counting technology. It is the highest-resolution instrument of this family and has industry-leading resolution and dead-zones (10 cm event dead-zone, 40 cm attenuation dead-zone). A large variety of wavelength options (520 to 1650 nm) as well as single- and dual-output versions are available, up to four different emitters can be integrated in a single module. The OTDR model LOR-220 POF is specially designed for testing large-core optical fibers such as 1 mm PMMA (POF) or others, providing a universal tool to characterize insertion losses and fiber attenuation. The LOR-220 POF is available on a custom basis for most large-core optical fibers and it has several wavelengths options. With the models LOR-220-U (single port) and LOR-220-UD (dual detector, dual port), Luciol Instruments offers a table-top packaging option that requires an external PC for control and operation. The LOR-220-UD OTDR can combine up to four wavelengths in the range of 500 to 1650 nm in one instrument. Both models are equipped with a standard USB port for convenient and easy connection to most Windows based PC and are ideal for test bench integration, laboratory environment OTDR testing and many more applications. Luciol has added several options to the LOR-220 series of high-resolution OTDRs: The Visual Fault Locator (VFL) option enables a blinking red laser, which is connected to the same connector as the OTDR itself. The user can switch from VFL to OTDR measurement directly in the software, without removing the connecting fiber. With access to the end of the fiber under test, the VFL can be used as a fiber identifier, to verify that the correct assembly is tested. This feature is especially useful for customers testing assemblies with multiple-fiber connectors with a probe. Please note that this VFL option is available only for the LOR-220 with 670 nm OTDR wavelength, the LOR-220 POF and the LOR-220-U/UD models. The Optical Power Meter (OPM) option is calibrated at 850, 1310, 1550 and 1610 nm. It covers power ranges of -50 to +8 dBm at 850 nm and -55 to +3 dBm at 1310 to 1610 nm. Please note that the OPM option is not available for the LOR-220-U/UD models. With the Fiber Microscope (FM, FSL) option, the user can verify the surface quality and cleanliness of all optical connectors before use. The surface is shown onto the LOR screen. It can be saved and printed for reference or reporting. Advanced software application is also available. Please note that the FM/FSL option is not available for the LOR-220 POF and LOR-220-U/UD models. Models designed for aviation applications are available. Benefit from the LOR-220’s high resolution for troubleshooting, fiber monitoring and precise fault location.
