AFR's MEMS Optical Switch is based on an electrostatic drived micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) chip. The MEMS chip consists of a tilting mirror to change light coupling between input and output fibers.The components are characterized with low insertion loss, high return loss, excellent environmental stability and reliability. The optical swtich has been widely used in fiber optics communication equipment, fiber instruments, and fiber sensing to switch channels.
Variable Optical Delay Line provides precision optical path variation of more than 15 cm (500 ps). The compact, rugged design makes the device ideal for integration in network equipment, test instruments, and optical for integration in network equipment, test instruments, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems for precision optical path length or timing alignment.
AFR high bandwidth zero-chirp F10 modulators are based on the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) architecture. They are manufactured using the highly reliable titanium indiffusion technology in X-Cut, Y-Propagating LiNbO3 substrates. The F10 is a single drive modulator designed for high bit rate advanced metro to long haul communication systems that requires the superior performance. The F10 modulator contains an integrated photo detector that may be used to set and lock the DC bias on the modulator as well as provide an estimate of the modulator output optical power.
The High Power Polarization Maintaining Isolator is characterized with low insertion loss, high isolation, high power handling, high return loss, excellent environmental stability and reliability. This fiber isolator is ideal for fiber laser and instrumentation applications.
The PMFCM series is manufactured using advanced technology to allow the input signal to be split into multi channels at a given splitting ratio with high extinction ratio, low excess loss, good uniformity, low wavelength dependance and low temperature dependence. It can be widely used in fiber sensors, amplifiers, lasers, etc.
