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. 

* Melles Griot BS Cube PBSH-450-2000-100 $531: https://www.cvimellesgriot.com/Products/Broadband-Polarizing-Cube-Beamsplitter.aspx
* Melles Griot BS Cube Adaptor Model 1307 $85: https://www.cvimellesgriot.com/Products/Cube-Polarizer-Adaptor.aspx
* Melles Griot Rotary Mount Model 1100-10 $95: https://www.cvimellesgriot.com/Products/Standard-Rotary-Mounts.aspx

Newport BS Cube holder.
* Newport CH-1 $199: http://search.newport.com/?q=*&x2=sku&q2=CH-1
* Threaded output so 1/4 waveplate could be mounted and aligned directly to BS cube.
  • Quarter-wave plates are not made so broad band.
Thorlabs Zero-Order Quarter-Wave Plates
    633nm Model: WPQ10M-633 1" diameter. Mounted: SM-1 Threaded. $503 http://www.thorlabs.com/thorProduct.cfm?partNumber=WPQ10M-633
                  Model: WPQ05M-633 0.5" diameter. Mounted 1" ring. $410 http://www.thorlabs.com/thorProduct.cfm?partNumber=WPQ05M-633
    1550nm Model: WMQ10M-1550 1" diameter. Mounted: SM-1 Threaded. $503 http://www.thorlabs.com/thorProduct.cfm?partNumber=WPQ10M-1550
                    Model: WMQ05M-1550 0.5" diameter. Mounted 1" ring. $410 http://www.thorlabs.com/thorProduct.cfm?partNumber=WPQ05M-1550

Will need to buy 2 each for both RED (630nm range and 1550nm telecom laser range for tests)

  • IR sensitive photodiode for coating tests and initial laser fringes

probably thorlab GaAs
