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.

ODL Fiber Optic Delay Lines
ODL Fiber Optic Delay Lines
Manufacturer: OZ Optics

Manual & Motorized Versions; 400 to 2000 nm; Delay Range 13 to 600 ps; Return Loss -35, -40, -50, -60 dB, Fiber Type SM, MM, PM OZ Optics’ fiber optic delay lines (ODL series) consist of an input and output fiber collimator to project the light into free space and collect it again into a fiber. The distance the light travels in free space is precisely controlled, either by controlling the separation between the input and output optics (ODL-100, ODL-200, ODL-300, ODL-700) or by reflecting the light off a movable reflector (ODL-600, ODL-650). In either case, by varying the distance the light travels, the user can control the delay time through the device. ODL series delay lines are available in both manual and electrically controlled versions. Manual delay lines (ODL-100, ODL-200, ODL-600, ODL-700) utilize either a lead screw or a micrometer to adjust the spacing. Electrically controlled versions (ODL-300, ODL-650) utilize a servo motor with encoders to monitor the motion. With these electronically controlled devices, submicron resolution (<0.003 ps) is achieved. The delay line is easily controlled by a computer via an RS-232 interface or manually using some simple TTL input signals. These devices are calibrated to provide the delay in picoseconds. Home and end position sensors prevent accidental damage to the device. The ODL-700 miniature style delay line provides up to 13 ps delay in a miniature package. The unit takes up little more space than an ordinary patch cord connection and is easily adjustable and lockable. Delay lines are offered using single mode (SM), multi mode (MM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fibers. 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. Key Features: Low Loss Sub-picosecond Resolution Wide Wavelength Range (400 to 2000 nm) Over 600 ps Delay Range Polarization Insensitive Single Mode (SM) and Polarization Maintaining (PM) Fiber Versions Electrically Controlled Versions Available Miniature Style Version Applications: PMD Compensation in High-speed Communications Networks; Interferometric Sensors; Coherent Telecommunications; Spectrum Analyzers; OCT Systems
