Description

Optical Coherence Domain Reflectometer - InsideView™ OCDR-1000


It is based on a polarization optimized white light interferometer proprietary to General Photonics.

It is a low cost alternative to OFDR technology, with a much higher dynamic range that avoids the masking of small reflection peaks by the large reflections typical of the input surface of an optical device.InsideView™ can measure devices with a length of up to 600mm. A set of length matching delay modules is available to match the pigtail lengths of the devices to be measured and place the measurement spanin the region of interest. With a reflection dynamic range of over 80 dB and a spatial resolution down to 10 μm, this instrument helps engineers and researchers see the inside of an optical device to precisely identify defects and their locations.
