Variable Delay Lines

A Variable Delay Line is a modified FiberBench that is actually a stainless steel precision translation stage on which are mounted two FiberPorts.
Used in applications requiring a variable optical pathlength, the VDL Variable Delay Line has a precision z-axis translation slide with micrometer actuator. With the VDL it is possible to control with high resolution the air-path length of the collimated beam between the FiberPorts.
In order that the System retain the inherent stability of all FiberBenches, the OFR VDL Variable Delay Line is designed to eliminate backlash and cross-talk between axes, and to repeat within 1§­ (~3.3 fs) anywhere over its travel range.

All OFR FiberBench Systems are available in two Hook-up Options :

. FC/APC Connector Interface
. (disconnectable). When ordering,
. terminate Part Number with-X.
. Permanent Pigtail, 1 meter.
. When ordering, terminate Part Number
. with-Y. 

When ordering, specify options as follows :
¥ë: Wavelength in nm
X : Connector Interface(FC/APC)
X/Y : Permancent Pigtail one end,
X/Y : connector other end

* Note:1¥ìm£½3.3 ps delay

A unique configuration of a combined 3-Port FiberTable, Variable Delay Line and 2 MirrorPorts, with appropriate optical components, allows a variable delay of one polarization mode with respect to the other of ±20ps (see photo).
