2500 Plastic Optical Fiber Analysis System
Comprehensive characterization of next generation plastic optical fibers
While the 2500 Optical Fiber Analysis System is the
industry-standard for testing standard, silica multimode
optical fibers, it is also capable of performing
comprehensive characterization of the new generation of
graded-index plastic optical fibers (GIPOF). The 2500
provides high speed, repeatable measurement of several
critical fiber properties including spectral attenuation, time-
domain (pulse) bandwidth, single-mode launch differential
mode delay, core diameter and numerical aperture - all in
accordance with recently developed IEC measurement
standards. The GIPOF-capable 2500 is compatible with
fibers having core diameters up to 120 um (IEC Type A4g
and A4h).
