OCDR-1000 Optical Coherence Domain Reflectometer

Product information "OCDR-1000 Optical Coherence Domain Reflectometer"

1310, 1550 nm; Dynamic Range >80 dB; Scan Range 600 mm; Spatial Resolution 10-25 µm; RL Range 10-90 dB; Sweep Speed 20 mm/s

Lunas’ OCDR-1000 is an optical coherence domain reflectometer designed to obtain space-resolved reflection information inside a fiber optical component, such as a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), for diagnosing quality or design issues. It is based on a polarization optimized white light interferometer proprietary to General Photonics.

The OCDR-1000 optical coherence domain reflectometer performs the functions of the discontinued Agilent 8504B Reflectometer – and more – but with better polarization management, spatial resolution and accuracy; larger scan range and dynamic range; and smaller size and weight.

The OCR-1000 is a low-cost alternative to OFDR technology, with a much higher dynamic range that avoids the masking of small reflection peaks by the large reflections typical of the input surface of an optical device.

The OCDR-1000 optical coherence domain reflectometer can measure devices with a length of up to 600 mm. A set of length-matching delay modules is available to match the pigtail lengths of the devices to be measured and place the measurement span in the region of interest. With a reflection dynamic range of over 80 dB and a spatial resolution down to 10 µm, this instrument helps engineers and researchers see the inside of an optical device to precisely identify defects and their locations.

PLC Polarization Controllers
480-1650 nm; IL <0.05, <0.5 dB; RL >45, >55, >65 dB; Extinction Ratio >40 dB; Connection Options Bulkhead Connectors, Fiber Pigtails, Drop-inLunas’ PLC series of polarization controllers use patented fiber squeezing technology to control the polarization. The PLC polarization controller modules are available with bulkhead connectors, with fiber pigtails, or as drop-in versions that use fiber already in the system. For OEM applications where space is at a premium, a miniature PLC polarization controller module is available.The PLC-002/M02 version of the PLC polarization controller is conveniently pigtailed with or without connectors. It can be spliced to other components with minimal loss and is ideal for controlling the polarization state of light in any single mode fiber optic system. It is available in a regular (PLC-002) or miniature (PLC-M02) size for maximum flexibility.PLC-003/006 is the in-line version of the PLC polarization controller module. It can be inserted into a fiber optic system to control the polarization state of light without having to disconnect any part of the system. It can be used by simply inserting a length of fiber into the slot located on top of the device. The miniature version can be inserted in even tighter spaces in a fiber optic module.The PLC-004/005 fully connectorized polarization controller module comes with either male (PLC-005) or female (PLC-004) connectors, thus eliminating the headaches of fiber pigtails. Customers can use the bulkhead connectors of their choice. Although the unit comes with FC type connectors, it can interface with ST and SC type connectors with industry standard FC/ST or FC/SC adapters . The device is especially suitable for interconnecting polarization maintaining (PM) fibers using standard connectors without having to align the birefringent axes of the PM fibers. Optional scales allow easy replication of earlier settings, a feature highly desirable in laboratories for repeating polarization adjustments.Key Features:Low Intrinsic Insertion Loss: <0.05 dB, <0.5 dB With ConnectorsLow Back Reflection – Return Loss: >65 dB Without Connectors, >45, >55 dB With ConnectorsInsensitive to Wavelength VariationsCompact Size – Dimensions:     PLC-002/M02: 102/76 x 25.4 x 27/27.7 mm     PLC-003/006: 76 x 25.4/16 x 27.7/17 mm     PLC-004/005: 102 x 25.4 x 27.7 mmMultiple Connection Options: Bulkhead Connectors, Fiber Pigtails, Drop-inWorks With Fibers of Any Size (PLC-003/006)Operating Wavelength: 480 to 1650 nmExtinction Ratio: >40 dBApplications: Sensor System Adjustment; OCT System Tuning; Antenna Remoting Systems; Laboratory Setups; Teaching Laboratories; High-speed Telecommunication Systems; WDM Systems; CATV Systems; Fiber Laser; Fiber Sensor Systems; PM Fiber Systems
