PRESS RELEASE

Far Field Scanner Enables Broadband Fiber Characterization

Los Angeles, California, March 8, 2011 – Photon Kinetics, the world’s leading provider of measurement systems for optical fiber and cable manufacturers, announced at OFC/NFOEC 2011 the availability of the industry’s first broadband far field scanner for the measurement of single-mode fiber mode field diameter and effective area. The 2201-3 Far Field Scanner is capable of characterizing fibers over the wavelength range of 500 to 1700 nm in a single unit.

The 2201-3 configuration joins previously released single-window configurations of the 2201 designed for 500 to 1000 nm or 900-1700 nm measurements. All three configurations are capable of 0.09 degree resolution and 75 dB dynamic range, enabling developers and manufacturers of both telecom and specialty single-mode fibers to obtain laboratory quality measurements from an automated, production friendly test platform.

The 2201 can be fitted with a wide range of standard or special wavelength internal light sources. Custom internal sources are also available, as is support for external sources, such as tunable lasers.
