Features
Automated Delay Positioning
Driven by a DC motor with an integrated encoder, the motorized variable optical delay line offers a high delay resolution of 1 fs for both 330 and 560 picosecond models. The electronics are also programmed to compensate automatically for backlash in the motor.
Stand-alone and remote operation
With integrated front panel control the user has to option to control the device as a stand-alone product or utilize the RS-232 interface to develop a fully automated delay solution.
Compact, Rugged Design
These motorized optical delay lines employ a compact and rugged package design that makes the device ideal for network equipment and test instrument integration. The delay lines can also be used in laboratories for precision optical path length control or timing alignment.
Long Delay in Small Package
Utilizing a multi-pass system, we are able to efficiently design a product that can provide delays up to 560 ps.
FC Connectors Standard
Users can choose from FC/PC or FC/APC connectors to give extra flexibility and provide ease of integration into any system.
Applications
Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
Time division multiplexing (TDM)
Pulse alignment
Optical spectrum analysis
Interferometry
Vary modulation phase of reflections for the testing of reflection effects on transmitters
