Max. Temperature +1,600 °C; Voltage 15 to 19 VAC; Current 5,8 to 7 A; Length 19, 22 mm; Width x Height 20 x 25 mm; Internal Diameter of Heat Core 2 mmNTT Advanced Technology Corporation’s CMH series of ceramic micro heaters provides temperatures of up to +1,600 °C in a very small, cylindrical volume. Powered by AC current with a power of approximately 100 W, a tubular ceramic micro-heating element with an internal diameter of 2 mm generates these high temperatures over a length of 19 (CMH-7019) or 22 mm (CMH-7022).In order to focus the heating energy in this small volume and to minimize the losses to the environment, the actual heating element is enclosed in a very high heat resistant ceramic material. An approx. 1 mm wide gap in this material on one side makes the laterally open, tubular heating element accessible from the outside.The main application of ceramic micro heaters is the processing of optical fibers, which can be inserted into the ceramic micro heater through the lateral gap. Tapering of optical fibers, for example, involves heating a small area of the fiber to a high temperature while the fiber is gently stretched as evenly as possible. This procedure reduces the diameter of fiber and core in the heated area, resulting in a tapered fiber. Another application of ceramic micro heaters is the production of fiber couplers.Key Features:Ideal for Heating-up Optical FibersIdeal for Manufacturing of Tapered Optical Fibers or Optical Fiber CouplersOperated by Electric CurrentTemperatures of up to +1,600 °C Can Be GeneratedPrecise Temperature ControlHeating Element Inner Diameter: 2 mmTwo Lengths Available: 19 mm (CMH-7019) and 22 mm (CMH-7022)Width: 25 mm, Height: 20 mmApplications: Heating-up Optical Fibers; Manufacturing of Tapered Optical Fibers; Manufacturing of Optical Fiber Couplers

Wavelength Band UV-SWIR, 400-2150 nm; Scalar FEM Numerical Engine; Solution in Seconds; ASCII Fiber Profile Input & Data Output; System Requirements 64-bit MS Windows Based on fiber refractive index profile data, Interfiber Analysis’ “2D Mode Solver” software package computes guided modes and mode properties, fiber bending/coiling effects, as well as mode coupling at splices. The software tool can analyze either 1-dimensional or 2-dimensional fiber index data so it can quantify the impact of any asymmetries in the fiber index profile. With this tool, you can: Compute 2-dimensional fiber modefields and mode properties Predict mode coupling at fiber splices Model fiber bending effects Quantify impact of index profile asymmetries Determine overlap between modes and cores Analyze fiber, preform, or synthetic index profiles These capabilities make the software particularly useful for customers working with high-power optical fibers. It is not only useful for existing IFA-100 users (who can use it to compute modes based on their IFA-100 data,) but also for those who use other equipment as it can be applied to fiber index data from other measurement devices (including preform profilers). This very attractively priced software tool runs on MS Windows 64-bit computers, and unlike other competing software packages, we offer multiple licenses at the customer location for the price of a single purchase.

Pigtail/Receptacle Versions; Fiber Type SM, MM or PM; Tilt Adjustment Feature for Many Couplers; Pigtail Versions Optional with Pre-configured Connectors (P)FPD fiber to photodiode couplers are available for virtually any photodiode on the market, using either SM, MM or PM fiber. The coupler design is both rugged and flexible, allowing customers to do their own alignment if desired. For OEM applications, miniature pigtail style fiber to photodiode couplers are available that do not use the tilt adjustment technique. These feature both a smaller size and lower cost.Our fiber to photodiode couplers come in three basic designs. The most common design consists of two baseplates (one holding the photodiode and the other one containing the focusing optics and the connector for the input fiber), separated by a resilient O-ring. OZ Optics’ patented tilt adjustment technique is used to achieve the maximum coupling efficiency (typical >80% for SM fibers, depending on fiber and photodiode characteristics) even for very small spot sizes of <10 µm. For the second design, the fiber, lens and photodiode are glued into a single assembly without the tilt adjustment technique. The third and final design uses no lens at all. The fiber is simply butted against the photodiode. Both of these designs are intended for OEM applications. For optimum coupling efficiency, stability, and minimum backreflection, we recommend using pigtail style fiber to photodiode couplers, available with a wide variety of fiber types and cable sizes, also preterminated with different types of connectors. Receptacle style versions are typically only available for multimode applications, or large active area photodiodes. AMS Technologies welcomes opportunities to fiber couple into your specific photodiode. Please contact us with details of the fiber required and the photodiode specifications, and we will determine the best, most cost effective method of fiber coupling.
