Fiber Optic Phase Shifter

New Product Release (March 2010)

Phoenix Photonics introduces the new low drive voltage Variable Phase Shifter. The simple to operate all fibre device for wideband operation offers >50pi phase shift as standard, and >150pi by request. Applying a voltage to the pins gives a controlled modification of the phase shift through the device. There are no in-line interfaces allowing the full power handling capacity of the fiber to be utilized and offering a virtually zero excess loss and PDL. This component is supplied in a small compact package with simple electronics, available in single mode (SM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fiber format. The Phase Shifter complements the Power and Wavelength range of products currently available from Phoenix.

Differential Group Delay Line (DGD)

New Product Release (February 2010)

The Phoenix Photonics differential group delay line (DGD) utilises a compact high linear birefringence fiber to provide an accurate fixed differential delay. Based on the technology developed to manufacture high performance Lyot depolarizers, precise differential time delay coils are fabricated. Time delays can be selected from fixed delays to customer selectable delays. The Phoenix DGD boasts many features including an all-fiber design, passive operation and low insertion loss. The DGD unit is commonly used in PMD compensation applications, sensing and PMD emulators.

Side Polished Optical Fibers

New Product Release (January 2010)

Phoenix Photonics Ltd., has introduced a new product range based on its all fiber technology. Phoenix employs side polishing (evanescent field technology) to manufacture a large range of existing products from Polarizers to VOA’s. Phoenix is now offering the polished fiber substrate as a standalone product. Polished fibers can be useful in optical fiber sensor applications, thermal threshold detection, fiber components, propagation control and much more. Fiber side-polishing technology enables access to the evanescent field of the wave propagating in an optical fiber by removing a section of the cladding. Unlike the more common block mounted technology, this approach provides a surface of defined length parallel to the core. The propagation characteristics of the wave can be modified by the structure and material of the replacement cladding. Variable polished depths and lengths can be achieved to meet the customers requirement.

Electronically Driven Polarization Controller - New improved design

New Product Release (November 2009)

Phoenix Photonics have enhanced their existing polarization management range with the release of the improved bench top electronically driven Polarization Controller. The instrument is based on the Phoenix Polarization Scanner and offers two basic options; a three section manual control with external analogue voltage control in a compact slim-lined bolt on package, or a single channel benchtop version. Full state of polarization control is achieved by three cascaded variable fiber waveplates. Control of each individual waveplate describes a complete circle on the Poincaré sphere. The unit allows any SOP to be generated from any arbitrary input SOP. The controller is all-fiber giving nearly zero return loss, very low insertion loss and PDL advantages.

 Wide Band Polarizer

New Product Release (September 2009)

 Wideband Fiber polarizer (1280nm to 1640nm) 

Phoenix Photonics Ltd., has Introduced a new wideband fiber polarizer to its polarization control range of products. The polarizer provides a single component to operate from 1280nm to 1640nm with an extinction ratio above 30dB over the full bandwidth. Coupled with the low loss associated with the all-fiber evanescent field design this polarizer is the optimum solution for operation in the communications wavelengths. Phoenix provides a standard range of polarizers offering different central wavelength in standard single mode and aligned polarization maintaining fibers with extinction ratios above 30dB. In addition, the enhanced range of polarizers offers the designer higher extinction ratios up to 60dB.
