Anritsu Company (Morgan Hill, CA) offers an advanced optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) module based on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology that delivers a high-speed scan rate (2.6 ms) and a wide scan wavelength range (1525 to 1570 nm). It provides a solution for high-speed dynamic spectrum monitoring in connection with FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors and photonic networks.

Additional capabilities include a high dynamic range of 33 dB, wavelength resolution bandwidth of 0.1 nm, and wavelength accuracy of 10 pm. This unique OSA module application consists of a MEMS optical scanner, lenses, Faraday rotator, diffraction grating, and photo diode. The wavelength of light reaching the photo diode is determined by the angle of the MEMS scanner and can be changed continuously by rotating the MEMS scanner. A Faraday rotator erases polarization dependency of the diffraction grating when measuring an unknown polarized input.

AxoLite™ from Axometrics (Huntsville, AL) is a low cost Mueller Matrix Polarimeter that completely characterizes the polarization properties of any optical sample. It uses an advanced dual rotating retarder design incorporating Axometrics’ patent pending AxoScan™ technology. The device connects to a PC via USB 1.1 or 2.0 to generate complete retardance and polarization dependent loss measurements as fast as 1 sample per second. AxoLite includes two optical heads (the polarization state generator and the polarization state analyzer), customer-specified optical source and detector options, control electronics, and the AxoView™ software, an easy-to-use graphical interface. It provides the cost-saving advantages of a full Mueller matrix measurement and analysis, including retardance, fast-axis orientation, optical rotation, polarizer extinction ratio, s- and p-transmittances, PDL, circular dichroism, depolarization and more, simultaneously in real-time. Additionally, the polarimeter can average a large number of Mueller matrix measurements to increase the measurement precision.

The Solo IV from New Wave Research (Fremont, CA) is a compact, portable, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser system designed for fluid and airflow visualization. It features a twin laser head design, both driven by a single power supply that can be positioned up to 8' away. Each laser head can produce a 50 mJ pulse of 532 nm light at a repetition rate of 50 Hz. Using a high speed CCD camera and both laser heads doubles the repetition rate to 100 Hz, allowing the capture of up to 100 data images/s. Multiple triggering options include front panel, external source via rear-panel BNC connectors, and internally/externally controlled Q-switch activation, allowing precise timing control of the energy pulse.
