VDL-001 Fiber Optic Delay Line

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 Luna 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.

Manufacturer "Luna"
Headquartered in Roanoke, VA, USA, Luna develops, manufactures and markets high-definition fiber optic sensing products and fiber optic test and measurement instrumentation . Luna's products are used to measure, monitor, protect and improve critical processes in the healthcare, telecommunications, energy and defense markets. Luna has become a recognized leader in transitioning science to solutions. Luna’s high-definition fiber optic sensing technology allows engineers to test, modify and qualify their designs; efficiently, effectively, and accurately. The HYPERION series of fiber optic sensing interrogators provide many of the advantages of fiber optic systems and distinguishes itself by virtue of high spatial resolution. On the test and measurement side, Luna provides diagnostic and test instrumentation that enables the complete characterization of optical components, assemblies and short-haul networks; providing substantial cost and time savings in the development, production, and maintenance of optical network equipment. Optical backscatter reflectometers (OBR series) enable ultra-high resolution reflectometry with backscatter level sensitivity, while lightwave component and optical vector analyzers extend Luna’s industry-leading optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) platform to manufacturing test and quality control applications for passive optical components.

FPS-002 Phase Shifter
780-1550 nm; Total Phase Shift >65π; IL <0.5 dB; RL >50, >55, >58 dB; PDL <0.05, <0.1 dB; Residual Amplitude Modulation ±0.01 dBCoherent or interferometric sensor systems, such as distributed acoustic sensors (DAS), often require a low-loss, low-cost phase shifter or modulator to obtain the desired sensing signals. Lunas FPS-002 is an all-fiber device that shifts or modulates phase shifts up to 75π at frequencies from DC to 20 kHz.The FPS-002 phase shifter requires a lower half-wave voltage than the FPS-001 phase shifter module: only 2 V compared to up to 20 V. Like the FPS-001, it is an all-fiber design and offers the benefits of low loss and back reflection. Two different size packages (small frame or large frame) are available to accommodate the bend diameter requirements of different fibers.Key Features:Low Insertion Loss (IL): <0.5 dB (at λc, Excluding Connectors)Low Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL): <0.05 dB (SM), <0.1 dB (PM)Return Loss (RL): >58 dB (Without Connectors), >55 dB (With APC Connectors), >50 dB (With PC Connectors)Low Residual Amplitude Modulation: ±0.01 dB at 1550 nmTotal Phase Shift (@500 Hz, Vpp = 150 V): >65π (@ 1550 nm)Low Half-wave Voltage (@ 500 Hz): 2.5 to 4.5 V Typical (Small Frame), 0.7 to 1.5 V Typical (Large Frame)Operating Wavelength: 780, 1060, 1310, 1550 nmFiber Type: ClearCurve ZBL, HI1060, 780 HP, PM, PM980XPCapacitance of Piezo: 0.18 µFMaximum Applied Voltage: 150 VCompact Size: 35 x 17 x 10 mm (Small Frame), 45 x 27 x 11 mm (Large Frame)Applications: Fiber Interferometers; Fiber Laser Systems; Fiber Sensor Systems
