Arden Photonics design and manufacture test equipment and components for the measurement of a range of properties of optical fibers. Our accurate and reliable products are trusted every day by some of the biggest companies in the worlds of telecoms, specialty optical fibers, optical components, fiber lasers, aerospace and more.
Optical fibre manufacturers can quickly assess the geometry of any optical fibre with a new high-speed automated measuring system from Arden Photonics.
Designed for production and R&D environments, the FGC-G range delivers repeatable, operator-independent results in less than 10 seconds. The comprehensive measurement capability for end-face geometries includes core diameter, core non-circularity, cladding diameter, cladding non-circularity and core-to-cladding concentricity.
Encircled Flux (EF) is the final piece in the puzzle of reducing measurement uncertainty in multimode optical fiber cable loss measurements. It is potentially the biggest contribution to variations in loss measurements.
Arden Photonics has released new software for its MPX Modal Explorer, a system for checking the launch conditions into multimode fibre using real-time measurement of encircled flux.
The standards-compliant system is applicable to users of both MPX-1 (850nm) and MPX-2 (1300nm) units with a USB 2.0 interface between computer and MPX optical unit.
2020 has shown standards are key to building the networks of tomorrow, and that’s something to be excited about, argues Bernd Hesse
