The PZ3 series is the mid-range members of Optiphase’s family of fiber stretchers. At the core of the PZ3 mid-range fiber stretchers is a fiber wound piezoelectric element for use in a wide range of optical interferometric measurement and sensing system applications.

Optiphase’s expertise in the design, manufacture and use of all-fiber interferometers has produced a unique multi-layer winding approach resulting in an enhanced modulation function while maintaining a high operational frequency. PZ3 mid-range fiber stretchers are available with single mode (SM), commercial polarization maintaining (PM, Panda or Bowtie) or SM reduced cladding (RC) fiber types

PZ3 mid-range fiber stretchers are available in two versions:

Housed in an enclosure with connectors, making set-up and use quick and easy
Bare lead fiber stretcher, not enclosed and including a convenient mounting kit consisting of a top-mount aluminum retainer and two silicone rubber pads - the mounting kit includes top or bottom mount

Optiphase fiber stretchers are unique in that they do not require proprietary drivers. For most low-voltage applications (<±15 V) Optiphase stretchers can be driven by standard electronics such as signal generators, op-amps or other laboratory equipment without modification. For more information on how to drive PZ3 mid-range fiber stretchers see the downloadable application note.

Fiber Optic Ferrules

OZ Optics provides a variety of ferrules to terminate your own fibers. These ferrules are available in a range of outer diameters, hole sizes, lengths, and materials – making them usable for many different applications. The different materials are useful for different applications, such as the following: Zirconia – known for precise tolerances; widely used for single mode (SM) and polarization maintaining (PM) fiber terminations Stainless steel – low cost, useful for large core multimode fiber terminations Borosilicate glass (Pyrex) – transparent to UV light, can be used with UV cured epoxies Kovar – expands and contracts at the same rate as glass; useful when parts are subjected to large temperature swings Beryllium copper – excellent thermal conductivity for high-power applications Nickel – good thermal conductivity and precise tolerances; good for high-power applications where alignment is critical OZ Optics’ ferrules are available in too many different varieties to list in a data sheet. In addition, many of these parts are subject to availability and may change without notice.

PCD-M02 Polarization Controller

980-1650 nm; 3, 4 Channels; Polarization Control Range 0-4π Each Channel; IL <0.05, <0.6 dB; PDL <0.05 dB; PMD <0.05 ps; AL <0.01, <0.05 dB; RL >65 dB General Photonics’ PCD-M02 polarization controller module integrates an all-fiber dynamic polarization controller with a miniature piezo driver card, so that the SOP of the signal can be directly controlled either by a 0 to 5 V analog control signal or a 12-bit TTL digital control signal. The 3- or 4-channel polarization controller module features an on-board high voltage DC/DC converter, so no external high voltage power supply is required. The card can be configured to accept either a ±12 VDC power supply or an optional external 160 V power supply. As a polarization controller, the PCD-M02 can convert any input polarization state to any desired output polarization state. As a scrambler, it can randomize the output polarization state. This module offers the low insertion loss, low back reflection, and low activation loss needed for test and measurement applications, combined with the compact size needed for system integration or handheld devices. Key Features: Minimal Insertion Loss (IL): <0.05 dB Without Connectors, <0.6 dB With Connectors Minimal Activation Loss (AL): 0.01 dB, 0.05 dB Fast Response Digital and Analog Control Compact Size Operating Wavelength Range: 1260 to 1650 nm, 980 to 1310 nm Polarization Control Range: 3 or 4 Channels, 0 to 4π Each Channel Low Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL): <0.05 dB Low Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD): <0.05 ps Return Loss: >65 dB Optical Power Handling: 1,000 mW Board Dimensions: 100 x 100 x 17.5 mm Applications: Polarization Control; Polarization Scrambling; PDL Measurement; PMD Compensation/Emulation; Fiber Sensor
