POM-300-IR: Handheld Optical Power Meter

The POM-300-IR is a versatile handheld optical power meter built around an InGaAs detector and powered by a rechargeable battery, making it ideal for on-the-go field applications. It supports wavelengths ranging from 800 nm to 1650 nm, covering key infrared bands, and measures optical power across a broad dynamic range from -75 dBm up to +10 dBm, with outputs available in watts, dBm, or dB. Designed for practical use in fiber optic assembly, quality control, network installation, component diagnostics, education, and general power measurements, the unit promotes ease of integration into diverse workflows.

Differential Polarization Delay Line: Compact Optical Delay Lines

The Differential Polarization Delay Lines are Optical Delay Lines engineered to provide accurate control over polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in fiber-optic systems. These devices introduce a controllable differential delay between orthogonal polarization states, making them indispensable tools for PMD compensation, system testing, and advanced research applications. Designed for stability and precision, they support the development and optimization of high-speed optical communication networks where polarization effects can significantly impact performance. By combining compact design with reliable operation, OZ Optics’ delay lines offer photonics engineers a practical solution for managing polarization-related challenges in next-generation optical systems.

OSM-UV/VIS/NIR-12.5-5: Portable Spectrometer Covering Ultraviolet to Near-Infrared

The OSM-UV/VIS/NIR-12.5-5 is a portable handheld spectrometer designed to deliver reliable performance across a broad wavelength range of 200 nm to 1050 nm, covering the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions. With a spectral resolution of 3 to 5 nm, it provides detailed measurements suited for applications such as chemical identification, food and beverage quality monitoring, and environmental testing. Its compact design ensures portability for field use while maintaining the precision required in laboratory environments, making it equally valuable for educational and research purposes. By combining versatility, ease of operation, and robust performance, the OSM-UV/VIS/NIR-12.5-5 offers a practical solution for users seeking full-spectrum analysis in diverse settings.

DTS0161: Auto Gain Controlled EDFA

The DTS0161 is a compact, high-performance fiber amplifier engineered for the C-band, with the unique ability to maintain a fixed gain of 25 dB (±0.3 dB) across a narrow 3.2 nm wavelength window, regardless of input power fluctuations. Leveraging auto-gain control and sub-microsecond transient suppression (on the order of 50 - 100 ns), it effectively mitigates transient overshoot or undershoot caused by DWDM channel add/drop events. This translates to stable output performance and minimal disturbance to adjacent channels. The unit handles up to four channels within the specified band, offers low noise and strong gain flatness, and delivers output power typically ranging from +5 to +13 dBm. Its compact form (90 x 70 x 14 mm) features 9/125 fiber pigtails with FC/APC connectors, includes provisions for electrical monitoring of input/output and pump performance, and is engineered for deployment in high-speed optical systems such as ROADMs, CATV, and C-band preamplifiers.

With innovations spanning from ultra-stable fiber-pigtailed lasers and handheld spectrometers to precision optical power meters, polarization delay lines, and advanced EDFAs, OZ Optics Ltd. continues to strengthen its role as a key enabler in the photonics industry. By combining compact designs with high performance and reliability, the company delivers solutions that address the diverse demands of research, telecom, industrial, and scientific applications, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted global supplier of cutting-edge fiber-optic technologies.
