AMS Technologies Announces Availability Optical Fiber Length Meter

Oct 23 2007

AMS Technologies announces the availability of OZ Optics' Optical Fiber Length Meter (OFLM).

The OFLM quickly and accurately measures lengths of multimode, singlemode and polarisation maintaining fibers, including fibers for non-telecom wavelengths, such as visible wavelength singlemode fibers.

Optical fibers up to 500m long can be measured with 1mm resolution and less than 0.1% measurement error. The device works by measuring the time for an optical signal to travel along and back through a fiber. The update of the readings once per second allows a continuous monitoring of the fiber length. The readings are communicated to a logging computer via an USB interface.

The system is ideal for applications requiring precise and repeatable optical fiber length measurements, such as cable manufacturing and spooling, strain sensing, and fiber interferometry.
