The new FGC-G range of high speed automated measuring systems from Arden Photonics enables optical fibre manufacturers to quickly assess the geometry of their products
Arden Phonics’ ModCon Mode Controller is a compact, lightweight module that modifies LED and VCSEL light sources to provide repeatable EF-compliant launch conditions
The MPX Modal Explorer from Arden Photonics measures encircled flux in real-time and is compliant with current standards. Version 8 software is now available for the MPX
Arden Photonics has introduced the VFI-1200, an interferometric inspection system specifically designed for checking the surface quality and flatness of cleaved, polished or lensed fibres
Arden Photonics has introduced the new smaller, lighter, and cheaper ModCon Mode Controller, which can be used to modify LED or VCSEL light sources to provide EF-compliant launch conditions
Arden Photonics has introduced the BQM-50 beam propagation analyser. Compact, easy to align and adjust, the company says it measures M² in less than 20 seconds, with a wavelength range of 400 to 1100nm
Arden Photonics has introduced the VFI-1200, an interferometric inspection system for checking the end-face quality and flatness of fibres with diameters of 125-1200µm
Arden Photonics is distributing the ModCon mode controller, which meets the requirements of IEC 61280-4-1 standard, which gives new target and tolerance values for the source modal launch conditions required to measure loss in installed cable plant
Arden Photonics has launched the VF-20 Trio, an interferometer designed to produce high quality images of the ends of optical fibres enabling estimation of quality and flatness.
