Product Description

The FPS-002 is a small, piezo-driven phase shifter that works by stretching a length of fiber. It has a lower half- wave voltage than the FPS-001 (~2V compared to 10-20V). Like the FPS-001, it is an all fiber design and offers the benefits of low loss and back reflection. Two different size packages are available to accommodate the bend diameter requirements of different fibers.

Solutions and Applications

The FPS-002 is useful for phase shifts of up to several tens of π at frequencies up to 20 kHz. Especially when used at resonance, the Vπ is very small, so it can be driven by a function generator. It can be used for fine adjustment or to add a dither in interferometric applications.
