(R)ND-11 Fixed Attenuators

Product information "(R)ND-11 Fixed Attenuators"

Pigtail Style, Optional Removable Filter; Fiber Type SM, PM, MM; 440 to 1625 nm; Connector Type NTT-FC/PC, ST, SC, LC, MU, other; Attenuation 5 to 30 dB

OZ Optics’ (R)ND-11 series of expanded beam style neutral density fixed attenuators are ideal for multi mode applications and for applications where attenuating fibers are not available or usable. These pigtail-style attenuators provide mode independent fixed attenuation when used with multi mode fibers. The insertion loss will not depend on how the light is launched into the fiber. This is a significant advantage over other attenuator designs.

The attenuators consist of a set of collimating and focusing optics and a central baseplate containing the filter. The expanded beam design permits higher power handling than plug style attenuators. The filters themselves can be either permanent (ND-11 series) or removable (RND-11 series). This provides great flexibility for experimentation.

Key Features:

  • Mode Independent Attenuation Level
  • Rugged and Compact Size
  • Pigtail Style
  • Removable Filter Versions (RND-11)
  • Wide Wavelength Range
  • Single Mode, Polarization Maintaining, and Multi Mode Fiber Versions
  • Expanded Beam Technology for Flexible Design

Applications: CATV, LAN and Telecommunications; Receiver Padding; Test and Measurement; Optical Power Equalization; Research & Design

BB-500-11-ND Variable Optical Attenuators
Neutral Density Filter, Pigtail Style; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; 800 to 1625 nm; Connector Type NTT-FC/PC, ST, SC, LC/PC, other; Attenuation IL to 40 dB OZ Optics’ BB-500-11-ND series of compact PC board mountable, pigtail style variable attenuators are designed to meet Telcordia requirements. These attenuators with low backreflection can be used for 1300 nm and 1550 nm, as well as for C, L and S bands, with minimal changes in the insertion loss. Mounting holes provide easy attachment to PC boards and patch panels. The mounting hole patterns and attenuator sizes can be modified to meet customer requirements.The attenuators consist of two baseplates, each baseplate containing a fiber followed by a collimating lens. The attenuator is prealigned for optimum coupling efficiency using a patented tilt alignment technique. A variable neutral density filter is used to provide more uniform attenuation in multi mode applications than the blocking screw technique. The attenuation is controlled by a turn screw on the side of the attenuator, which controls the position of the filter. Variable attenuators based on the neutral density filter are ideal for multi mode fiber applications where one may be concerned about modal noise. When blocking style attenuators are used with multi mode fiber, some modes are blocked, while others are transmitted. This can produce 1 dB or greater modal noise fluctuations with coherent sources. A variable attenuator using a neutral density filter is not as strongly affected by modal noise. However, neutral density filter attenuators offer lower attenuation range (around 40dB) and can only handle about 50mW of power. While generally used for multi mode applications, OZ Optics can also produce single mode and polarization maintaining versions.
