Anywave

Anywave is our ability to use any optical fiber type i.e. Silica, ZrF4, InF3, Chalcogenides, GeO2, rare earth doped, hollow core and other exotic fibers; even plastic waveguides.

Anywave uses achromatic spatial wave displacement to achieve 150% coverage of the Poincaré sphere for SM polarization control and MM laser light decorrelation.

Anywave spatial displacement is achromatic while birefringent aveplates created by compression can have very low to over full wave retardance.

Fiberbench

Fiberbench is our powerful modular fiber optomechanics system for fiber optic polarization control and spatial mode scrambling.

Fiberbench makes it simple to adapt our products to application specific requirements.

Fiberbench permits single quantity and volume orders to be fulfilled without development cost and warranties to 5 years.

Fiberbench OEM, enclosed instruments and active parchcords use lightweight fiber armoring; Fiber type, pigtails, connector, etc. set using interactive forms. (6)

Achromatic
SPACE SCRAMBLING EFFECT

The rotation of a multimode fiber, ifimaged as a fiber section is similar torotating the projected image of the wavefront.

Of course, fiber cannot be considered asa 2D image, but this provides anapproximate result that correlate wellwith experimental data.

This illustrates well the achromaticscrambling effect of modal displacement about theoptical axis. Any fiber materialand any laser wavelength will exhibit thesame efficiency.

For a laser producing 30-100 % spatialnoise, less than 12% spatial noise isgenerally expected for 180° integrationor half a period.

Customer data with instrumentsoperating at 3 to 4 ms half period for180° rotation show 2.5% to 5% RMSnoise from 520 nm to 2.1 um 30% lasernoise at 4 to10 ms integration
