System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Fiber Optic Total Retroreflectors to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SM400, SM450, PM400, PM460, SM600, PM630, Hi780, PM780, SM800, PM850, PM980, Hi1060, 50/125, SM28, PM1550, SM1950, PM1950 · Fiber Cover: 900μm Tube, Bare Fiber
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Wavelength and loss budget
- Wavelength: 1064nm, 1310nm, 1550nm, 1800nm, 850nm, 780nm, 980nm, 650nm, 460nm · Wavelength (nm): 360–530 / 480–650 / 400–480 / 460–700 / 620–650 / 620–650 / 760–800 / 760–800 / 830–870 / 830–870 / 910–1080 / 960–1080 / 1250–1650 / 1250–1650 / 1250–1650 / 1700–2300 / 1800–2200
- Check the Optical Reflectors passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
