An optical isolator is an optical component which allows the transmission of light in only one direction. It is typically used to prevent unwanted feedback into an optical oscillator such as a laser cavity.
Our Variable Optical Delay Line provides fast and accurate optical path length control in a compact housing.
Based on a customisable chassis that can be adapted to incorporate additional optical components, the unit is designed to be easily incorporated into any modular optical coherence tomography (OCT) or similar interferometric system architecture.
Optical interface is through a single or dual fiber pigtails which can be specified to length and terminated with all commonly used optical connectors. Internal optical sensors can be used as reference location and travel limit switches.
Please contact us for further details related to use of the delay line within interferometric applications.
