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

SLED; 402-1680 nm; Optical Bandwidth 3-350 nm; Coherence Length 2.5-30 µm; Optical Power 0.5-40 mW With the EBS series, EXALOS provides high-performance fiber-coupled light sources based on superluminescent light emitting diodes (SLEDs). These highly customizable benchtop instruments are available in various form factors for research, development, production and testing environments. EBS SLED systems can be configured with up to eight SLEDs for ultra-broadband light sources. They can either have individual optical outputs for each SLED or can be configured to have one common output where the spectra of the individual SLEDs are combined. EBS light sources are available over a wide spectral range from near-UV (390 nm) to near-IR (1700 nm). In the long-wavelength range, EXALOS can offer the EBS300058-02, an ultra-broadband 350-nm light source from 1270 to 1620 nm with more than 40 mW of optical output power. In the short-wavelength range EXALOS can offer the EBS300080-02, an ultra-broadband 160-nm light source from 750 to 920 nm, featuring a coherence length in air of less than 2.5 µm. The EBS series’ optical output can be realized either with a single mode (SM) fiber or with a polarization maintaining (PM) fiber, depending on the type of SLED module that is chosen. The EBS30 and EBS40 series offer remote control through electrical analog and digital control signals and modulation capabilities up to 50 Hz. Optionally, a low degree of polarization (DOP) can be achieved using fiber depolarizers. Furthermore, spectral shaping through custom optical bandpass filters can be realized.
