F-WDM-S11315: Fiber-Optic WDM Coupler for 1310/1550 nm Networks

Newport’s F-WDM-S11315 is a 1x2 wavelength-division multiplexer that combines or separates 1310 nm and 1550 nm signals on a single fiber, enabling high-capacity bidirectional traffic for telecom and data-center networks. This fiber optic coupler delivers ultra-low insertion loss of about 0.3 dB and polarization-dependent loss below 0.05 dB, with channel isolation exceeding 40 dB to minimize crosstalk. Built with rugged Corning fiber pigtails and Telcordia-qualified for reliability, this compact coupler integrates easily into dense network hardware and provides stable, low-loss performance for fiber-to-the-home, metro backbones, AI data-center interconnects, and precision sensing links.

6363IR: 140 W Broadband Infrared Emitter

The 6363IR infrared emitter delivers 140 W of broadband IR output with negligible visible or UV light, making it an excellent source for spectroscopy, materials analysis, and thermal-imaging calibration. A gold-coated off-axis parabolic reflector maximizes radiant efficiency, while convection cooling ensures quiet, low-maintenance operation and long service life. Its spectral coverage spans near-IR through far-IR, providing highly uniform intensity for repeatable measurements. Compact and lab-friendly, it aligns easily with standard optical mounts and integrates seamlessly with Newport power supplies for stable, high-intensity IR output in demanding research and metrology applications.

F-VDL-2-6-FA-S: Manually Variable Fiber Optical Delay Line

Designed for precise timing control, the F-VDL-2-6-FA-S offers up to 600 ps of variable optical delay line with sub-picosecond resolution. Built on Corning SMF-28 single-mode fiber, it maintains low dispersion and about 1 dB insertion loss while achieving excellent return loss of roughly 50 dB to suppress back-reflections. FC/APC connectors ensure repeatable alignment, and its compact, rugged housing saves valuable bench space. Ideal for interferometry, coherent communication testing, and synchronization of complex photonic circuits, the delay line provides straightforward manual adjustment for researchers who need rock-solid optical timing without electronic control.

FPM-8220-220V: High-Accuracy Optical Power Meter

The FPM-8220-220V benchtop power meter delivers high-accuracy, broad-wavelength optical power measurements from picowatt to multi-watt levels, depending on the attached Newport sensor. Powered directly from 220 V AC, it offers calibration traceable to national standards for reliable measurement integrity. A large, easy-to-read digital display, fast sampling rate, and USB/GPIB interfaces simplify data logging and automated test integration. Its sturdy metal enclosure and laboratory-grade stability make it ideal for telecom component testing, AI photonic circuit development, and advanced research where precise optical power monitoring is essential.

CS130B-2-FH: Compact Tunable Monochromator

Newport’s CS130B-2-FH monochromator provides precise wavelength selection and narrow-bandwidth output in a compact 1/8-meter design. Featuring interchangeable diffraction gratings on a dual-turret system and adjustable entrance and exit slits, it delivers flexible spectral coverage and sub-nanometer resolution for demanding optical experiments. A low-stray-light optical path preserves signal purity, while a motorized wavelength drive ensures repeatable tuning and easy remote operation. Rigid aluminum construction keeps alignment stable, and compatibility with Newport detectors and light sources allows seamless integration for hyperspectral imaging, fluorescence studies, and light-source or detector calibration.
