2300 Fiber Analysis System
The new industry standard for spectral loss and geometry
For over 30 years, Photon Kinetics' 2200 Fiber Analysis and 2400 Fiber Geometry Systems have been considered the industry standards for single-mode spectral loss (e.g. cut-off wavelength) and fiber geometry characterization. The new 2300 Fiber Analysis System is the first optical fiber test instrument to combine these two critical measurements on the same test station. The resultant elimination of redundant fiber preparation and handling alone enables fiber and cable manufacturers to reduce the time and expense associated with these "short fiber" measurements by more than 50 %. The 2300's higher data acquisition speed provides additional cost reduction and test station throughput.
The 2300 is available in a variety of configurations including the combined spectral loss and geometry system, as well as specialized spectral loss or fiber geometry systems. A comprehensive line of measurement options is available to extend the capability of all three configurations including extended wavelength range, numerical aperture capability for multimode fibers, plus geometry characterization of several types of specialty fibers.
