Other Fiber Components

Product Portfolio
AMS Technologies offers a variety of fiber components, such as fiber optic power monitors, fiber stretchers and phase shifters, fiber optic shutters and reflectors, fiber terminators, de-specklers, a delivery system for flow visualization, but also glass solder preforms or fused silica capillary tubing.

The miniature optical power monitors consist of a single mode (SM) optical fiber with micro-tap and a PIN photodiode in a single, compact coaxial package, available as single-channel (optionally also featuring an integrated WDM filter) or multi-channel power monitors. An additional series of single-channel optical power monitors features single mode (SM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fibers.

Instead of using a conventional fused coupler to tap a fraction of light into another fiber, the series of directional fiber optic power monitors directs a controlled amount of light from the fiber core to the cladding surface where it can be directly monitored with high efficiency and very low loss – without affecting the original functionality.

AMS Technologies carries fiber stretchers based on piezoelectric elements, including fiber stretcher series for high speed and fiber lengths up to 17 m, mid-range (15 to 30 m fiber lengths) and high efficiency (fiber lengths 40 to 82 m) as well as a fiber stretcher with four independent piezo elements, allowing either high resolution or large stroke.

Three series of phase shifters provided by AMS Technologies feature an all-fiber construction with low insertion loss and back reflection. The phase shifters are available with up to 20 kHz modulation frequency, allowing maximum phase shifts of 15π or >65π, as well as with 60 kHz maximum modulation frequency and >55π phase shifts.

Safety in applications with high optical power is the domain of our series of fiber optic shutters that can also incorporate additional beam dumps and/or heat sinks to safely absorb the blocked laser power. Fiber optic reflectors are available as pigtail style as well as receptacle style devices, reflecting the light emerging from a fiber back in the reverse direction, while the series of fiber terminators in various optical connector form factors can be easily installed into panel mount receptacles to significantly reduce unwanted reflections from the fiber face.

A proprietary, small and compact de-speckler technology is available, averaging the modal noise within an optical fiber that would otherwise interfere with optimal performance. This reduction in speckle is an ideal choice for fiber assemblies used in various applications.

The fiber optic delivery system for flow visualization generates a line of visible laser light which is shone through the flowing liquid under inspection, enabling to visually observe any particulate matter present or changes to the flow pattern within the fluid.

Glass solder preforms are available, designed specifically for hermetic sealing of optical fibers in optoelectronic and all optical packaging, bonding directly to glass and metal surfaces. The series of fused silica capillary tubing, coated with polyimide for mechanical stability and available with a wide range of internal and external diameters, is used for micro-fluidics applications and in gas chromatography (GC) separation columns.

Our fiber components can be used with our extensive range of optical fibers, patch cables, bundles and assemblies, driven by our various lasers and light sources.

Available precision optics includes optical lenses, optics assemblies, optical filters, optical prisms, optical mirrors, optical beamsplitters, etalons, optical gratings, optical isolators, optical attenuators and polarization optics as well as optical scanners and deflectors or optical modulators, q-switches and pockels cells.

For mounting, adjusting and moving our optical components with high precision, we carry a comprehensive array of optomechanics and motion control such as optical mounts, rotary and translation stages plus motion controllers as well as optical tables, breadboards and platforms.

CAP Fused Silica Capillary Tubing

Inside Diameter 15 to 450 µm; Outside Diameter 90 to 673 µm; Coating Polyimide; Temperature Range -190 to +350 °C; Tensile Strength >600 kpsi Fiberguide’s fused silica capillary tubing is used for micro-fluidics applications and in gas chromatography (GC) separation columns. These capillaries are coated with polyimide for mechanical stability and versatile uses. With inert surfaces and high purity, Fiberguide’s capillary tubing solutions provide a very high phase stability, while their peak mechanical stability leads to greater yield and more cost-efficient tubing. Based on the great flexibility combined with high tensile strength (>600 kpsi), these capillary tubing solutions are pressure resistant to 4,500 psi and allow very small radii during coiling with no kinking. They are impervious to chemicals, allowing usage in harsh environments. A wide range of internal and external diameters with tight tolerances allows users to select a capillary tubing solution that best suits their flow rate requirements. All capillaries can be easily cleaved or cut, allowing to adjust exactly the column length needed for interfacing. While the mirror smooth inner surface provides stable laminar flow profiles and good adherence, the capillary tubing solutions’ Polyimide coating is very durable and abrasion resistant.

Fiber Optic Delivery System for Flow Visualization

Delivery System consisting of a laser to fiber coupler, fiber optic patchcord, fiber optic collimator, and fiber optic line generator; Power Transmission ≤1 to ≤ 20 W In flow visualization systems, a visible wavelength laser beam is coupled into an optical fiber, recollimated at the fiber output, and then sent through a lens, generating a line. This line of laser light is then shone through the flowing liquid under inspection. Any particulate matter present, or changes to the flow pattern within the fluid, causes fluctuations in the output beam pattern which are visually observed. OZ Optics offers complete delivery systems for flow visualization, consisting of a laser to fiber coupler, fiber optic patchcord, fiber optic collimator, and fiber optic line generator. The line generator uses a Powell lens. Compared to simple cylindrical lenses, this Powell lens transforms a collimated beam into a line with a uniform output intensity along its entire length. Fiber optic delivery systems are available for a wide range of wavelengths. Other wavelengths are available on request. The maximum power transmission possible depends upon the fiber size chosen 4/125 fiber can handle 1 W to 3 W, 10/125 fiber can handle 3 W to 5 W, 25/125 fiber can handle 5W to 10 W, and 50/125 fiber can handle 10 W to 20 W. For best repeatability and stability, FC connectors are recommended for the fiber couplers and collimators. Pigtail style couplers and collimators are also recommended.By choosing different focal lengths for the collimating and Powell lenses, different line widths and fan angles are possible. Standard line widths for singlemode fibers are 0.8 mm and 1.2 mm. Standard fan angles are 10°, 30° and 45°. Contact us for further information on available line widths and fan angles. Key Features: Uniform Output Intensity over Entire Length Rugged and Compact Design Low Insertion Loss Visible Wavelength Range: 400 to 700 nm Wide Fan Angles Available: 10 to 75 degrees Applications: Flow Cytometry, Particle Measurement, Imaging Systems

FORF Fiber Optic Reflectors

Fixed or Variable; Receptacle or Pigtail Style; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; 400 to 1600 nm; Back Reflection 25 to 60 dB OZ Optics’ FORF series of fiber optic reflectors are used to reflect the light emerging from a fiber back in the reverse direction. They are used to build fiber interferometers, or with fiber fused splitters to measure back reflection within fiber optic components. They can also be used to measure the sensitivity of sources to back reflection from other devices, by providing reference reflection levels. This is very useful for deriving back reflection specifications for transmitters. Fiber optic reflectors consist of a fiber optic collimator and a mirror. The fiber output is first collimated, then it strikes the mirror and is reflected back into the collimator. The angle between the collimator and the mirror is adjusted using OZ Optics' patented tilt adjustment technique, until as much light as possible is reflected back into the fiber. Using this technique, reflectors with typical losses of only 0.6 dB can be constructed. A variable reflector is available that includes a blocking screw, to obtain variable reflection levels. This is achieved by partially blocking the collimated beam between the lens and the mirror. Both connector receptacle style and pigtail style reflectors are available. Connector receptacle style reflectors come with a female connector receptacle to allow the fibers to be easily changed. Pigtail style reflectors come with a fiber of your choice permanently attached to the collimating lens. This type of reflector is recommended for optimum coupling efficiency and stability. The other end of the fiber can be terminated with your choice of connector. OZ Optics also provides fibers with coated ends. Gold coatings are used to provide excellent broadband reflection for infrared wavelengths. Other coating materials are available for other wavelengths. The ends can have total reflecting, or partial reflecting/partial transmitting coatings. Contact AMS Technologies for further information. Reflectors are available for wavelengths from 400 to 1600 nm. Reflectors that operate at both 1300 and 1550 nm are available, with only a slight difference in insertion losses at both wavelengths. Broadband reflectors using achromatic lenses to collimate light at different wavelengths are available. Partially reflecting mirrors are also available, to partly transmit the light. The transmitted light can be coupled into an output fiber as an option, thus forming an in-line reflector. Contact AMS Technologies for further details. Key Features: Wide Range of Available Wavelengths Available in Single Mode (SM), Polarization Maintaining (PM) and Multi Mode Versions Low Insertion Loss Compact Housing Partial Reflectors Available Applications: Interferometric Sensors; Circulators; Return Loss Testing; Reference Beam Power Measurements

OPM Directional Fiber Optic Power Monitors

320 to 2100 nm; Tap Ratio 0.5 to 4%; Insertion Loss <0.05 to 0.3 dB; Return Loss >70 dB; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM, PC, Other; Power Handling 250 to 2000 mW With the OPM series, OZ Optics offers inline optical power monitors and tap couplers based on a revolutionary, patented technology. These taps and monitors provide a way to easily measure the signal intensity through an optical fiber in a simple, miniature package and are ideal for real time monitoring and feedback for optical amplifiers or WDM systems as well as for fiber optic sensors. Traditional monitoring systems typically use fused couplers to tap a fixed amount of light into another fiber that guides the optical power to a photodiode. This method is bulky and must be done using discrete components. In contrast, OZ Optics' OPM series of optical taps direct a controlled amount of light from the fiber core to the cladding surface where it can be directly monitored with high efficiency and very low loss. This inline tapping is accomplished without bending, shaping, or otherwise distorting the fiber. As a result, the tap can be directly incorporated into optical assemblies, without affecting the original functionality. While taps are directional in nature (ideal for monitoring traffic independently of signals travelling back through a network link), bi-directional versions are also available and can be provided on request. OPM taps can be fabricated into standard single mode (SM), polarization maintaining (PM), multi mode (MM), photonic crystal (PC) and other specialty fibers, for any design wavelength and with different tap ratios available upon request. OPM optical power monitors combine the optical tap design with a photodiode in an integrated package and are available in different configurations with Si and InGaAs detectors for different wavelength ranges. The devices produce a current proportional to the optical power within the fiber, and the small size and simple interface makes it very easy to design into optical hardware. Multiple channel power monitors for WDM applications are available upon request. Key Features: Miniaturized Package Inline Integration Without Interruption to the Optical Path Telcordia GR-468 Qualified Available for Any Wavelength from 400 to 2100 nm Low Insertion Loss, Return Loss and Polarization Dependent Loss High Directivity and Large Dynamic Range Broadband Response High Power Handling High Extinction Ratios for PM Versions Remotely and Locally Controllable, USB and RS232 Communication Options Available for Standard Telecom Fibers, PM, MM, Photonics Crystal and Other Speciality Fibers Available with or without Integrated Photodiode Applications: Power Monitoring; Optical Power Control Devices; Channel Balancing for Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Systems; Dynamic Optical Amplifier Gain Monitoring; FTTH Network Monitoring; Real-time Inline Test and Measurement; Fiber Optic Sensors; OCT Systems
