The 2 μm Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter is a compact high performance lightwave component that combines two orthogonal polarization signals into one output fiber. The most common application is to combine the light of two pump lasers into one single fiber to double the pump power in EDFA or Raman Amplifier. The 2 μm Polarization Beam Combiner can also be used as a beam splitter.
The Faraday Mirror is a passive device that provides 90 degree rotation regarding the polarization state of the input light. The FM offers excellent performance including the lowest possible insertion loss and environmental stability. It is used in EDFAs, fiber lasers and fiber instruments to minimize the polarization effect.
Motorized Variable Optical Delay Line provides precision optical path length adjustment of up to 500 ps. Driven by a stepping motor, the MDL has a delay resolution about 10 μm (34 fs). In addition, its advanced motion design guarantees longevity for long-term continuous operation. Low insertion loss and high reliability make this device ideal for integration in optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems, network equipment and test instruments for precision optical path length control or timing alignment.
The 40G-IQ-XT modulator design is based on a dual parallel structure of 2 Mach-Zehnder modulators embedded in a Mach-Zehnder super-structure. Each internal modulator is designed to have EO bandwidth above 20 GHz. Monitor photodiode is provided for automatic bias control. The 40G-IQ-XT version is provided with an extended operating temperature of - 55 to + 85°C for different environmental applications.
AFR's Dragon 15 kW Laser Cable provides QBH compatible connector for high power fiber lasers up to 15 kW. Technologies incorporated include cladding mode stripping, indirect water cooling and safety interlock.
