WLS-Series WheeLED Multi-wavelength LED Light Sources

Product information "WLS-Series WheeLED Multi-wavelength LED Light Sources"

Up to 9 LED Modules; 340-980 nm; Typical Output Power 23-500 mW; Iop 350-1,000 mA; Vop 1.4-4.3 V

Many applications require wavelength-switchable light sources. For example, in vision applications different types of objects may require different illumination wavelengths for optimized contrast. Mightex’s WLS-Series of WheeLED™ wavelength-switchable LED light sources let users manually switch between a selection of LED sources with different wavelengths and/or white LEDs.

A wide range of wavelengths and white LEDs are available for users to choose from. Start with a blank chassis (product number WLS-22-A) and add up to nine (9) LEDs emitters (product numbers WLS-LED-xxxx-xx) to your WheeLED chassis. The selected LEDs are installed in the light source chassis in the factory. Users can then switch among the installed LEDs by manually turning a hand wheel.

A high-NA (numerical aperture) aspherical collimating optics is included for precision collimation and high light throughput. Clear aperture of the optics is 22 mm in diameter. Other optional optics may be added for fiber /lightguide coupling and other functions.

The light source includes a 1.5 m electrical cable with a connector on one end to be plugged into the light source, and two bare-wire terminals at the other end. The light sources can be driven by Mightex LED controllers or other LED controllers and current sources. Only a single driving channel is required because at any time only one wavelength is powered up. Over-current protection is built into the light source to prevent potential damage during switching.

An optional focusing module can be mounted on the front of the LED collimator to focus light into a tight spot which is an image of the LED emitter. An optional lightguide adapter is also available to couple the LED light into a lightguide.

PSY-201 Polarization Synthesizer/Analyzer
1280-1620 nm; SOP Sampling Rate ≤4 MHz; Analog Bandwidth 1 MHz; Input Power Dynamic Range 45 dB; IL ≤1.6 dB; PDL <0.25 dB; PMD <0.1 ps; RL 45, 55 dBLunas’ PSY-201 deterministic polarization synthesizer/analyzer generates and maintains any state of polarization (SOP), regardless of the input SOP. It combines General Photonics’ patented controller, polarimeter, and control algorithms into an instrument that functions as both an SOP generator and a polarization analyzer.The generated SOP and the corresponding Poincaré representation are displayed on a PC via USB interface. Output SOP can be defined by Stokes parameters, by manually tuning the SOP to any point on the Poincaré sphere or by optimizing a polarization-dependent metric. Once a desired output SOP is found, the instrument maintains the SOP against input SOP fluctuations.The user can generate 6 distinct SOPs (0°, 90°, ±45°, RHC and LHC) for Mueller matrix calculations, or select any of the 6 states at the touch of a button.The PSY-201 polarization synthesizer/analyzer contains programmed SOP traces of common polarization variations. It can also function as a polarization scrambler, generating SOP scans with user-defined parameters and, with the internal polarization controller disabled, it can function as an in-line polarimeter, displaying the instantaneous SOP and DOP of the input light beam.Features include a data logging function for long-term measurement of polarization changes of up to 1 billion points, long-term SOP monitoring, SOP markers for angle measurement and a "SOP replay" function in sphere display mode, as well as extended triggering capability in oscilloscope mode. PSY-201 puts all of the tools necessary for polarization management at your fingertips.Key Features:Sampling Rate: Up to 4M SOP (State of Polarization) Samples/sAnalog Bandwidth: 1 MHzInput Power Dynamic Range: 45 dBOperating Wavelength Range: 1480 to 1620 nm, 1280 to 1314 nmReal-time Poincaré Sphere DisplayHigh-speed SOP Generation and TrackingHigh-speed Analog Output of SOP & DOP (Degree of Polarization)Data Logging of SOP Changes up to 1 Billion PointsMaximum Insertion Loss (IL): 1.6 dBReturn Loss: 45, 55 dBPolarization Dependent Loss (PDL): <0.25 dB Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD): <0.1 psOperating Power Range: -35 to +10 dBmApplications: Polarization Sensitivity Analysis of Receivers; Monitoring of System SOP/DOP; PER Measurement; Polarization Generation and Stabilization; Sensor System Characterization; 100G System Characterization
