Product Description
  • Precision Control of Delay Time by Altering the Light’s Transmission Distance
  • Low Insertion Loss, Multi-Stage Delay, Picosecond-Level Resolution
  • Single-Mode Fiber, FC/APC Connectors
Fiber optic delay lines (ODL, Optical Delay Lines) consist of an input and output fiber collimator and a motion stage, used to project light into free space and collect it back into a fiber. By changing the distance the light travels using the motion stage, the delay time in the optical path can be precisely controlled. This can be achieved by controlling the distance between the input and output optical ports (single pass) or by reflecting the light off a movable mirror (double pass). LBTEK’s variable fiber optic delay lines feature low insertion loss, multi-stage delay, and picosecond-level time resolution. They find applications in PMD compensation in high-speed communication networks, interferometric sensors, coherent telecommunications, spectrum analyzers, and OCT systems.

Fiber ModeSingle-Mode
Connector TypeFC/APC
Manual Adjustable Optical Delay Line, Single-Pass
  • Operating Wavelength: 1550 nm
  • Manually Adjustable Delay Range: 100 mm
  • Low Insertion Loss, High Return Loss

The LBTEK Manual Adjustable Optical Delay Line (Single Pass) is a device that precisely controls the delay time by altering the length of the delay path between the input and output optical ports. It uses air as the optical transmission delay medium, and the delay distance between the input and output optical ports is manually adjusted via a motion mechanism (i.e., a lead screw guide rail). The device features input and output ports each equipped with a 1 m single-mode fiber pigtail and FC/APC connectors. The manual adjustment range of the lead screw guide rail is 100 mm.

Manual Adjustable Optical Delay Line, Double-Pass
  • Operating Wavelength: 1550 nm
  • Manually Adjustable Delay Range: 50 mm
  • Low Insertion Loss, High Return Loss

The LBTEK manual adjustable optical delay line (double-pass) is a device that precisely controls the delay time by altering the length of the delay path of the movable mirror. It uses air as the optical transmission delay medium, and the delay displacement of the movable mirror is manually adjusted via a motion mechanism (i.e., a lead screw guide rail). The device features input and output ports each equipped with a 1 m single-mode fiber pigtail and FC/APC connectors. The manual adjustment range of the lead screw guide rail is 25 mm, providing a delay range of 50 mm.
