VDL-001 Fiber Optic Delay Line General Photonics Datasheet

Product information "VDL-001 Fiber Optic Delay Line"

840-1650 nm; Delay Range 0-1,200 ps; RL 50 dB; Fiber Type SMF-28, HI780, HI1060, PM Panda; IL 1.0, 1.5 dB; PDL 0.1 dB

The General Photonics VDL-001 module is a manually controlled variable fiber optic optical delay line. Multiple versions are available with path length of up to 1,200 ps. A low insertion loss and low variation of insertion loss is critical for most applications, and the VDL-001 has less than ±1 dB variation even up to 1,200 ps.

The delay line is packaged in a small aluminum box to prevent dust or noxious vapors from contaminating the optical path. The compact, rugged design makes the VDL-001 device ideal for integration in network equipment, test instruments, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems for precision optical path length or timing alignment.

FPC/HFPC/PFPC Fiber Polarization Controllers

400 to 2200 nm; Return Loss ≥40 to ≥60 dB; Available Polarization Extinction Ratio >35; Fiber Type SM, Coating ≤400 µm OZ Optics’ FPC/HFPC/PFPC series of fiber polarization controllers allows to convert any input polarization to any desired output polarization. These devices combine the compact size and ease of use of standard bulk optics systems with low cost, low loss and low back reflection. FPC/HFPC/PFPC controllers work by applying pressure with an adjustable clamp. The pressure on the fiber causes a birefringence within the fiber core, causing the fiber to act as a fractional wave plate. Varying the pressure varies the delay between the fast and slow polarization components. The clamp is rotatable, allowing to change the direction in which the stress is applied. This allows any output polarization to be achieved. The process is simple and quick, output polarizations exceeding 30 dB can be routinely achieved in seconds. FPC/HFPC/PFPC fiber polarization controllers work with single mode (SM) fiber of any wavelength. For multi mode (MM) and polarization maintaining (PM) fiber, AMS Technologies offers OZ Optics’ FPR series of polarization rotators, controllers and analyzers. FPC/HFPC/PFPC fiber polarization controllers are offered in three versions. The FPC in-line polarization controllers can be inserted into a customer’s own single mode fiber. OZ Optics now provides this unit in a miniature size housing for applications where space is critical. FPC controllers can be used with any wavelength single mode fiber and is designed to work with 250 and 400 µm jacketed fibers. With the PFPC devices, pigtailed versions are also offered. PFPC versions are available with any size of cable or fiber and with your choice of connectors. Finally, HFPC connector receptacle style controllers are available, using a short section of fiber terminated with female receptacles. For further information, please contact the AMS Technologies optical fiber experts. Key Features: No Intrinsic Loss No Backreflection Compact Size, Miniature Housing Easy to Use Wavelength Insensitive Wavelength Range 400 to 2200 nm Applications: Single Mode (SM) to Polarization Maintaining (PM) Fiber Launching; Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) Measurements; Launching into Polarization Sensitive Devices; Fiber Lasers; Fiber Interferometers; OCT Systems
