Active Components

Simultaneously detecting the powers of two orthogonal polarization components is important for many sensor and measurement applications. A pigtailed polarization beam splitter coupled with two photodetectors can be used for such applications; however, this arrangement is bulky, troublesome to handle, and costly.

Simultaneously detecting the powers of two orthogonal polarization components is important for many sensor and measurement systems, to either obtain polarization related information or minimize polarization sensitivity.

A suite of advanced polarization test instruments specially designed for testing the quality of fiber coils ensures the consistent production of high performance coils. GPCs' PM coils can be wound with different winding patterns such as quadrupole, octupole, or other types to minimize the Shupe effect, which degrades the performance of a fiber gyro under temperature-varying conditions.

The OFE-001 is a fiber pigtailed compact optical incremental frequency encoder that can measure the instantaneous optical frequency change of tunable lasers or other light sources.

Next-generation active optical modules meet the requirements of a wide variety of data rate and range requirements with a variety of 850, 1310, and 1550 nm pluggable transceivers and tunable lasers. These include 4/2/1G SFP, 10G XFP, 16/10/8/6G SFP +, 40G QSFP+ and 100G CFP2, CFP4 and QSFP28 modules.

GPCs’ 2nd generation all fiber phase shifter/modulator provides phase shifts up to 65π with a much lower half-wave voltage (~2 volts as compared with 10-20 volts for the 1st generation phase shifter) at frequencies from DC to 20 kHz

The FPS-003 all fiber phase shifter/modulator combines a wide modulation bandwidth (up to 60 kHz) with low half-wave voltages to create a long-range device that can be driven by standard function generators.

Nuphoton Technologies supplies nanosecond and subnanosecond LIDAR pulse laser, ultra-compact picosecond and femtosecond lasers, low-noise optical fiber amplifiers, linear polarizing fiber amplifiers, and broadband flat-spectrum ASE light sources.

The TIA-1200 Optical to Electrical Converter is a wide-band detection system for fiber optic applications.

The TIA-525 optical receiver is a convenient, easy to use optical to electrical converter

With the TIA series we offer optical-electrical converters for laboratory and field use.

The TIA-4000 is comprised of a fiber coupled InGaAs APD detector combined with a variable reverse bias voltage network and fast transimpedance amplifier
