=UM Fiber Pilot Links=

== Purchasing Notes ==

=== Specialty Fiber ===

* JDM rejected SM fiber due to polarization mode dispersion problems for kilometric lengths
* JDM concluded we '''need''' polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber

* Two kinds of fiber we are considering
1. Corning Panda PM 1550

2. Corning Panda PM dispersion-shifted 1550

=== Composite Cable Company ===

* will include copper wires in a protected cable, along with the specialty fiber
* occfiber.com is currently best bet at $5/meter

=== Polarization Optics for Visible and H band Tests ===

* Analyzer / Polarization Beamsplitter Cubes (need 3).

Melles Griot 255 BS cube works from visible to NIR (400-2000nm) for $581 each. Plus BS cage and rotary mount.
Purchased 3: Melles Griot BS Cube PBSH-450-2000-100 $531: https://www.cvimellesgriot.com/Products/Broadband-Polarizing-Cube-Beamsplitter.aspx
Purchased 3: Melles Griot BS Cube Adaptor Model 1307 $85: https://www.cvimellesgriot.com/Products/Cube-Polarizer-Adaptor.aspx
Purchased 3: Melles Griot Rotary Mount Model 1100-10 $95: https://www.cvimellesgriot.com/Products/Standard-Rotary-Mounts.aspx

Purchased 3: Thorlabs PBS254 25.4mm Polarizing Beamsplitter Cube (1200-1600 nm)

* Quarter-wave plates are not made so broad band.

Thorlabs Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plates
Purchased 2: 633nm Model: WPQ10M-633 1" diameter. Mounted: SM-1 Threaded. $503 http://www.thorlabs.com/thorProduct.cfm?partNumber=WPQ10M-633
Purchased 2: 1550nm Model: WMQ10M-1550 1" diameter. Mounted: SM-1 Threaded. $503 http://www.thorlabs.com/thorProduct.cfm?partNumber=WPQ10M-1550

THORLAB SM-1 WILL NOT MATCH THREADING IN THE MELLES GRIOT ROTARY MOUNT. 32 TPI VS 40 TPI. LIKEWISE SM-1 WILL NOT FIT NEWPORT ROTARY MOUNTS.
THORLABS MOUNTED WAVE PLATES REQUIRE THORLABS ROTARY MOUNTS. $89. http://www.thorlabs.com/thorProduct.cfm?partNumber=RSP1C

Will need to buy 2 each for both RED (630nm range and 1550nm telecom laser range for tests)
Purchased 1: Thorlabs S3FC1550 Fiber Coupled Laser Source

Purchased 1: Thorlabs PDF10C femtowatt photodiode http://www.thorlabs.com/NewGroupPage9.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=3257&partnumber=PDF10C
Purchased 1: Thorlabs AC254-050-C NIR achromat for focusing to photodiode: http://www.thorlabs.com/NewGroupPage9.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=899&partnumber=AC254-050-C
Purchased 1: Thorlabs AC254-050-A Vis achromat: http://www.thorlabs.com/thorProduct.cfm?partNumber=AC254-050-A
Purchased 1: Cheapo fixed lens holder: http://www.thorlabs.com/NewGroupPage9.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=1433&partnumber=LMR1

Purchased 4: Thorlabs RSP1C Manual Rotary Mount

=== Controls ===

*Zaber mount contro: running on a copy of controlMountSocket.py.
*NOTE: PYTHON MUST BE RUN IN 32-BIT MODE FOR COMMUNICATION TO WORK PROPERLY. USE "arch -i386 python" TO RUN IN 32-BIT MODE.

*Labjack drivers and python library have been installed.
