COMPREHENSIVE LABORATORY BASED EDUCATIONAL PACKAGE IN
WDM SYSTEMS, WDM COMPONENTS & BRAGG GRATINGS
MAIN FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
• Modular series of kits investigating WDM
Components, DWDM,
1310/1550nm
WDM & Bragg Gratings.
• Includes all fibre optic and optoelectronic
hardware
required
to perform
the
experimental investigation.
• Extensive literature support including:
student manual with relevant theory and
experimental procedure and instructor’s
manual with full sample results.
• Background notes
on
fibre
optic
components and WDM systems.
• Saves significant course, literature and
hardware development effort.
• Driver & display software for optional PC
control & monitoring of instrument via
USB interface.
• 3U 19” rack style modules allow flexible
unit combination, future upgrade and
expansion of kit when appropriate.
THE FULL ED-WDM SERIES EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ADDRESSES*:
• Measurement of insertion, backreflection
/return
losses and determination of
isolation/extinction ratios of a series of
optical
components at 1550nm &
1310nm
• Characterisation & examination of the
narrowband wavelength response of
Bragg grating and DWDM modules
• Investigation of temperature tuning of a
Bragg grating and
its
role as a
temperature sensor
• Measurement and plotting of
light,
voltage, current (LVI) characteristics of
lasers with operating temperature
• Characterisation of a two channel DWDM
system, examination of channel add/
drop, and measurement of system
crosstalk / channel isolation
• Effect of wavelength drift on DWDM
system crosstalk / channel isolation
• Investigation of crosstalk effects on the
eye diagram / BER in DWDM systems
(requires OptoSci BER(COM) kit)
• Assembly and characterisation of a two
channel 1310nm & 1550nm WDM system
• Fibre attenuation, length and chromatic
