Santec's OTF-980 provides flexibility for fiber optic signal filtering. The 1000 dB/nm slope creates the sharpest filter profile available on the market today. Its adjustable bandwidth enables filtering to be optimised for the data rate or for channel selection of multiple channels. Isolation of over 50 dB provides effective filtering even for applications in quantum communication. The instrument has GPIB, Ethernet and USB interfaces and includes an integrated power monitor for centering the filter automatic on any signal.

Santec has a range of high performance tunable lasers with a wide tuning range and an output combining high power and high signal-to-noise ratio. It uses a new optical cavity design with precise speed control up to 200 nm/s and sub-picometer resolution and accuracy. Contact us today to find the best laser for your application.

Our latest Optical Power Meter provides unrivalled flexibility and accuracy. The standard 2 mm InGaAs detector measures power down to -80 dBm with a wavelength range covering 840 to 1700 nm. Analogue output, triggered measurements and data logging provide additional flexibility. The detector is free-space and uses our patented Slide Detector Adapters. These allow connector types to be rapidly changed. We have a range of OPM that will suit your need. Contact us today to find out more.

SPA-100 is a new type of instrument which combines multiple functions for testing and characterizing optical waveguides and photonic integrated circuits (PIC) with a single optical set-up. The SPA-100 is an accurate proximity sensor. This aids alignment of test fibers to the device. SPA-100 performs measurements in both transmission and reflection providing wavelength dependent loss (WDL) data as well as return loss information. These measurements are performed as a function of distance, creating a useful tool for transmission loss analysis as well as coupling loss and defect analysis.
