Description

The sm125T Wavelength Component Test System meets the growing demand for an inexpensive component test system that can be distributed easily throughout manufacturing facilities and be networked to provide a complete automated test solution for the component manufacturer. Using standard Ethernet interfaces, several sm125Ts can provide current results on the status of the component production line. This on-demand capability allows the manufacturing manager to quickly respond to anomalies, thereby reducing expensive output of defective product. The speed of the sm125T also provides greater control over the individual steps for the component manufacturing process. It is an ideal tool for the component manufacturer.

The small, accurate, powerful and economical sm125T combines an industrial PC with Micron Optics' robust, high-power, low-noise swept laser source, available NIST-traceable calibration reference materials, and high sensitivity detection circuitry. This combination of powerful high performance devices results in a product fully capable of real-time testing of fiber Bragg gratings, arrayed wave guides, optical filters and a wide variety of other fixed and tunable components.

Features

• No Calibration- The sm125T never needs calibration. Wavelength is calibrated automatically on every scan. Some models include an internal NIST-traceable gas cell for applications where tight absolute measurements are needed.
• Robust Operation - The sm125T survives harsh environments. Tests at professional facilities, meticulous customer evaluations, and tests at Micron Optics' headquarters prove how well Micron Optics' products are designed and built.
• Huge FBG Sensor Capacity - The sm125T can monitor a huge number of multiplexed fiber Bragg grating sensors. With 80 nm of wavelength range per channel and up to 16 optical channels, users of the system have great flexibility in designing their sensing system to maximize the number of sensors per interrogator, and to minimize total solution cost.
• Full Spectrum Flexibility - Some components in special applications can produce unique spectral profiles. The sm125Ts full-spectral data allows the user to get a complete picture of how the component is performing under all conditions.
• Fast Peak Detection - Using the full-spectrum data, onboard peak detection capabilities are included and can be customized for each application.
• Compact Size - The sm125T weighs a mere 2 kg, is smaller than a shoe-box, and all ports are accessible from one side allowing integration into existing control panels.
• Verifiable Performance - The performance we quote is the performance you’ll get. Some manufacturers boast fantastic numbers for accuracy, resolution, and repeatability, but how will they perform in your application?
• Modular Design - The sm125T is offered in two standard models. Custom configurations allow optimization of unit costs and feature sets for volume customers. sm125T instruments use Ethernet to network to external PCs for data analysis.
