OCA-1000 Optical Component Analyzer

Product information "OCA-1000 Optical Component Analyzer"

1260-1620 nm; 8-40 Channels; PDL Measurement Range 0-20 dB; PDL Resolution 0.01 dB; IL Measurement Range 0-60 dB; IL Resolution 0.002 dB; Optical Power Range -60-8 dBm; Optical Power Accuracy ±0.5 dB

General Photonics’ OCA-1000 is a multi-channel optical component analyzer that simultaneously measures insertion loss (IL), polarization dependent loss (PDL), and optical power (P) on multiple optical paths. The measurement is based on the Mueller Matrix method, which offers fast characterization of wavelength dependent optical parameters that are critical in today’s optical communication systems.

The OCA-1000 base model can have up to eight channels. Custom 8- or 16-channel expansion units can be added to increase the system capacity to up to 40 channels. The instrument comes with a control program with built-in functions to display measured power, IL, and PDL vs. wavelength or to monitor the time variation of power/IL for all channels simultaneously to determine their stability. For AWG characterization, the data analysis software also calculates passband center wavelength, bandwidth, and flatness as well as inter-channel crosstalk (from adjacent and nonadjacent channels).

The OCA-1000 optical component analyzer is an ideal solution for easy, accurate characterization of components and modules with multiple outputs, including DWDMs, ROADMs, AWGs and PLCs. It can be used with various tunable lasers , such as those from Keysight or Santec. This flexibility makes full use of existing laser resources and reduces the cost of making such measurements. Its rapid measurement reduces the time required to characterize devices with large numbers of ports, enabling higher production throughput.

1/2" Industrial Fluorescence Probes
Wavelength Range 200-2500 nm; Connector type SMA-905; Pressure Probe Head 10 bar @ 25°C; Temperature -30-100°C, HT version -30-200°CFor effective fluorescence measurement, Avantes offers this specially designed reflection probe. It features 12 excitation fibers of 200 μm surrounding a 600 μm read fiber, which transports the fluorescence signal back to the spectrometer. To convert the 45° reflection probe into a fluorescence probe, a special reflector accessory, FCR-FLTIP-IND, is attached to the probe end. This accessory prevents ambient light from entering the probe and backscatters the excitation light, thereby increasing the typically low fluorescence signal. The fluid channel path can be adjusted between 0 and 5 mm.Applications: Fluorescence measurement

Accessories and Fixturing for Terahertz Gauging & Imaging
Spectroscopy Rail; Collinear Adapter; Lens Options, T-Image Platform Luna’s T-Ray ASR5001 is the first compact pulsed terahertz measurement system that is robust enough to be deployed in an industrial environment and has all of the flexibility provided by Luna’s fiber-coupled sensor heads in a rack mount package. With Luna’s range of accessories and fixturing devices, the T-Ray® 5000 can be configured to fit your specific application. With its exceptionally long high-speed delay, the T-Ray® 5000 is ideally suited for spectroscopic investigations, providing spectral resolution down to 1.5 GHz at 100 Hz. The transmitter (HTS40nm) and receiver (HRS40n1) can be mounted on the T-Ray® ASR5001 spectroscopy rail to perform transmission spectroscopy measurements. A standard mount is provided to hold accessories or standard sample cards. The rail can accommodate lenses up to 150 mm working distance. An iris is provided on the sample holder to block any portions of the beam that may not be going through the sample. Tip-tilt stages provide easy optimization of the beam alignment to ensure maximum bandwidth. Using the T-Ray® 5000 AXA40n1 collinear adapter, transmitter and receiver can be coupled to perform as an integrated collinear reflection transceiver. Alignment pins provide precise positioning. The adapter has two ports for the lens, so it can be assembled as right or left-handed. Reflection measurements are easily acquired because the transmitter and receiver share the same lens. Spatial resolution down to 100 µm has been obtained using this arrangement with a 25.4 mm focal length lens. The transceiver is ideal for reflection tomography. When used with an HTS40nm and an HRS40n1, the assembled collinear transceiver based on ASR5001 or AXA40n1 will provide over 3.5 THz of bandwidth and SNR of 70 dB (ASR5001) or 60 dB (AXA40n1) respectively. The T-Ray® 5000 HTS/HRS Transmitters & Receivers come standard with a 38 mm diameter lens in an adjustable lens tube. In addition to that, Luna offers T-Ray® 5000 lens options ranging from 38.1 mm to 76.2 mm and 152.4 mm in diameter, with focal lengths ranging from 25.4 mm and 76.2 mm to 152.4 mm and 304.8 mm, plus a collimating lens. Here, the “focal length” is the distance from the lens surface to the beam waist. Lens tubes that mount on the transmitter or receiver are also available for 38.1 mm and 76.2 mm lenses. The lenses are manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and are manufactured to an aspheric profile for high-quality focusing across a wide range of frequencies. Luna has specifically designed these lenses for use with their fiber-coupled transmitter and receiver sensor heads. When mounted on the front of a transmitter, the lens will provide a collimated or a focused beam. Use relay lenses in conjunction with a collimating lens on the sensor head. The collinear adapter (AXA5001) and the integrated collinear transceiver (HXC50xn) are compatible with 38.1 mm diameter lenses. The T-Ray® 5000 MSL5201 T-Image platform can be positioned for horizontal or vertical scanning. The transmitter and receiver can be configured in transmission or collinear reflection geometry by using the collinear adapter. The MSL5201 can move at speeds up to 150 mm/s and can provide step resolutions below 30 µm. The motors are integrated with the required amplifier and encoder to allow high-quality images to be acquired at speeds up to 1000 pixels/s. The T-Ray® 5000 MSL5201 T-Image platform has an embedded motion controller that is configured by software running on the Terahertz Control Unit.

FODL Fault Locators
520 to 660 nm; Optical Power 0.5 to 30 mW; CW to 2 kHz; Connector Type Super/Angled NTT-FC/PC, SC, ST, Universal OZ Optics’ FODL series of visible fiber optic fault locators launches 635 nm visible laser diode light into the fiber. When light encounters a break or sharp bend, it scatters, and the scattered light can be observed emerging from the cable. Fault locators can locate breaks in short patchcords, which an OTDR cannot detect due to its operating dead zone. A fault locator is also much less expensive than an OTDR. However, they are not recommended for use with dark-colored or armored cables. Another use for fault locators is to check connector quality – inside the connector ferrule, poor gluing or dirt may create a micro bend in the fiber producing excess insertion or return losses and maybe resulting in premature failure of the connector. Launching visible light through the fiber, so that it emerges from the connector in question, the distortion appears as a series of rings superimposed on a normal output. Fault locators are available in bench-top, pocket and pen format. Pocket size fault locators can be operated in either CW or pulse modulation mode. Pen size fault locators are CW only. High power versions, available as bench-top units, are also CW only. Key Features: Pen, Pocket and Bench-top Versions Available High Visibility (up to 6 km with a 1 mW, 635 nm Source) Higher Output up to 30 mW, Non-contact Style Power Versions Available Continuous Light or Pulse Modulation Power Supply Alkaline Batteries or AC/DC Adapter Carrying Pouch with Belt Clip for Pocket-size Version 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm ID Universal Connector Receptacles Available Applications: Single Mode and Multi Mode Fiber Testing; Fiber Identifier Applications; Locating Breaks and Bends in Fibers and Connectors; Identifying Fibers and Tracing Optical Signals by Using Modulated Signals; Optimizing Splices
