Technica expands its offering of Athermal Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), now available in standard and mini size formats, with single-ended and double-ended device packaging

摘要

Technica's Athermal FBG devices enable size reduction of optical wavelength referencing and calibration circuits used in telecom, optical sensing, spectroscopy, and for optical test, measurement, and monitoring instruments. FBGs are reliable all-fiber optical components have been used for making accurate and reliable temperature and strain measurements for over two decades. However, when used as optical wavelength references or markers, FBGs need to be packaged into devices that ensure the absence of any strains on the FBG while also passively compensating for temperature fluctuations in the surrounding environment. Technica's family of T95 Athermal FBGs has now been expanded to include smaller, compact size, mini packaged devices packaged in both single-ended and double-ended configurations. Optical wavelength referencing circuits are widely used in industry and in research and development laboratories. Often used together with other optical components, Athermal FBGs are an enabling technology for sub-picometer level absolute measurement systems.
