Motorized Tunable Fiber Delay Line MDL-02-33
The MDL-02 motorized tunable fiber delay line precisely adjusts optical path length over a 560ps delay range. A DC motor and integrated encoder provide drive control, with delay precision better than 0.3μm (1fs) and backlash <8fs. The motor design supports long-term continuous operation. Low insertion loss and reliability suit network and test equipment requiring precise optical-path or signal-timing control, as well as laboratory research. One version has a separate controller and optical-delay module for integration; another is an integrated unit for desktop instruments. Front-panel keys or remote RS232 control operate the device. Single-mode or PM-fiber pigtail inputs/outputs are typical, with free-space versions also available.
