UM Fiber Pilot Links[edit]

Purchasing Notes[edit]

Specialty Fiber[edit]

  • 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[edit]

  • 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[edit]

  • Analyzer / Polarization Beamsplitter Cubes (need 3).
