Variable Delay Line, Motorized, 1550 nm, 560 ps, PM Pigtails, FC/APC

The MDL-1-6-FA-P Motorized Variable Optical Delay Line provides precision optical path delays of up to 17 cm, which corresponds to 560 picoseconds maximum delay in the time domain. Driven by a DC motor with an integrated encoder, the motorized variable optical delay line offers a high delay resolution of 1 fs. This motorized optical delay lines employs a compact and rugged package design with FC/APC connectorized 1550 +/- 50 nm PM fiber pigtails 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. The major applications include time division multiplexing (TDM), pulse alignment, optical spectrum analysis, and interferometry. The MDL Series can also be used to vary the modulation phase of reflections for the testing of reflection effects on transmitters. Not CE compliant.
