TF/TFS Series MEMS Tunable Optical Filters

Polarization Insensitive; 1100 to 1650 nm; Bandwidth 1 to 18 nm; Insertion Loss 3 dB; PDL <0.3 dB; Fiber Type SM, PM; Connector Type FC/PC, ST, SC, LC, MU, None OZ Optics’ BTF-11 series of manually adjustable variable bandwidth tunable filters are pigtailed components with adjustment knobs that allow both the wavelength and bandwidth of the filter to be controlled. The devices contain two independently variable tunable bandpass filters in series. With the two filters tuned to cover slightly different wavelength ranges, the overall passband becomes the region where the two individual passbands overlap. The amount of overlap determines the width of the filter. Since each filter can be tuned over a range of wavelengths, both the center frequency and width of the passband can be controlled. Each individual filter consists of a multi-layer thin film band pass filter, designed to give a flat top pass band, with steep roll-off shapes. The center wavelength of the filters is adjusted by changing the angle of incidence of the light as it impinges upon the filter. In the BTF-11 series of variable bandwidth tunable filters, each filter is independently rotated relative to the incoming light, in order to change the passband. OZ Optics uses a special technique to minimize polarization dependencies, allowing PDL effects to be kept below 0.3 dB, and making the spectral response virtually polarization independent. This feature makes the BTF-11 series ideal for today’s DWDM system applications. Variable bandwidth tunable filters using single mode (SM) and polarization maintaining (PM) fibers are offered. In general, OZ Optics uses polarization maintaining fibers based on the PANDA fiber structure when building polarization maintaining components and patch cords. However, OZ Optics can construct devices using other PM fiber structures. OZ Optics also carries some alternative fiber types in stock, please contact AMS Technologies for availability. If necessary, OZ Optics is willing to use customer supplied fibers to build devices. In addition to the BTF-11 series of manually adjustable variable bandwidth tunable filters, OZ Optics provides four further series of tunable filters – BTF-100 series of motorized adjustable variable bandwidth tunable filters, TF-100 series of digital tunable filters, TF-100-11 series of motor driven tunable filters, and finally TF-11 series of manually adjustable polarization insensitive tunable filters. If you are looking for filters with a fixed wavelength, have a look at OZ Optics’ FF series of fixed filters.

400-1650 nm; Pulse Width 2-1,000 ns; Measurement Range ≤160 km; Fiber Type SM, MM; Connector Type FC, SC, ST – APC or PC Luciol Instruments’ LOR-200 series is a family of fully portable, stand-alone high-resolution OTDRs based on Luciol’s patented scanning photon-counting technology. The instruments are integrated in a Windows-based PC platform with touchscreen interface, achieve a superior dynamic range and allow high-resolution fiber characterization up to a total distance range of 160 km. Optimized for telecom wavelengths, typically from 1000 to 1650 nm, the LOR-200 OTDRs feature industry-leading resolution, distinguishing events with 20 cm separation, and a 50 cm attenuation dead-zone. Their unique dynamic range for short pulse lengths (up to 15 dB for 2 ns pulses) enables to see through optical splitters, even over very short distances. The optical pulse width is variable from 2 ns to 1 µs. A large variety of wavelength options is available, up to 4 different emitters can be integrated in a single module. The fiber options include single mode (SM) and multi mode (MM) versions. In addition, a model designed for FTTx applications is available. This version with matched filter allows in-service testing of live passive optical networks (PON), without disturbing the transmission, and can easily see through optical splitters. All necessary filter elements, including Raman-backscattering filters, are included in this OTDR. Luciol has added several options to the LOR-200 high-resolution OTDRs: The Visual Fault Locator (VFL) option enables a blinking red laser, which is connected to the same connector as the OTDR itself. The user can switch from VFL to OTDR measurement directly in the software, without removing the connecting fiber. With access to the end of the fiber under test, the VFL can be used as a fiber identifier, to verify that the correct assembly is tested. This feature is especially useful for customers testing assemblies with multiple-fiber connectors with a probe. Please not that this VFL option is available only with the 670 nm OTDR wavelength. The Optical Power Meter (OPM) option is calibrated at 670, 850, 1310, 1550 and 1610 nm. It covers power ranges of -50 to +5 dBm at 670 to 850 nm and -60 to +5 dBm at 1310 to 1610 nm. With the Fiber Microscope (FM, FSL) option, the user can verify the surface quality and cleanliness of all optical connectors before use. The surface is shown onto the LOR screen. It can be saved and printed for reference or reporting. Advanced software application is also available. With LOR-200-U, Luciol Instruments offers a table-top packaging option that requires an external PC for control and operation. LOR-200-U is equipped with a standard USB port for convenient and easy connection to most Windows based PC and is ideal for test bench integration, laboratory environment OTDR testing and many more applications. Benefit from the LOR-200 series’ high resolution for your FTTx/PON application for precise fault location and ONT detection.

Handheld Device; 1470 to 1620 nm; Line Width 1.1 nm, 0.3 nm Optional; Insertion Loss <2.5 dB; PDL <0.3 dB; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; Connector Type FC/PC, ST, SC, LC, LCA OZ Optics’ TF-100 series of digital tunable filters consist of a collimating optical assembly, an adjustable narrow bandpass filter and a focusing optical assembly to collect the light again. This series of digital tunable filters are handheld units with a keypad, display and computer interface. The devices allow to control the wavelength at which the filter transmits work by adjusting the angle of incidence between the filter and the incident beam. The TF-100 series digital tunable filters are calibrated such that the user directly enters the wavelength to transmit via the keypad or remotely, through the computer interface. A USB interface with cable is standard. Filter linewidths are normally defined in terms of full width at half maximum (FWHM). The standard filters used have a smooth, rounded transmission spectrum that is the result of a single Fabry Perot type cavity, simply made up of two reflectors separated by a fixed spacer of some thickness. Other filter designs are available. For instance, flat top bandpass filters are made by stacking multiple cavities together. By increasing the number of cavities one can increase the roll-off slope therefore improving the out-of-band rejection level. Please contact AMS Technologies for custom filter designs that meet your requirements. OZ Optics tunable filters utilize an optical technique to control polarization dependent loss (PDL). This new design reduces PDL to below 0.3 dB, while at the same time making the spectral response polarization insensitive. This feature makes the TF-100 series ideal for today's DWDM system applications. Tunable filters using single mode (SM), multi mode (MM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fibers are offered. In general, OZ Optics uses polarization maintaining fibers based on the PANDA fiber structure when building polarization maintaining components and patch cords.
