Description
ModCon Mode Controller is an innovative solution designed to enhance the precision and reliability of your fiber optic measurements. This compact and lightweight module seamlessly integrates with your existing LED or VCSEL light source, transforming it into a stable and consistent Encircled Flux (EF) compliant output. This compliance is crucial for adhering to the stringent standards set by IEC 62180-4-1:2009, ensuring that your measurements are both accurate and reliable. In the world of fiber optics, the accuracy of loss and bandwidth measurements in multi-mode fibers is heavily influenced by the modal condition of the light source. The ModCon Mode Controller addresses this challenge by providing a uniform distribution of modes, regardless of the light source being used. This results in reduced uncertainty and increased consistency in your measurements, which is particularly beneficial when dealing with different sources such as lasers and LEDs. By using the ModCon, you can achieve better agreement between test data sets, thereby enhancing the overall reliability of your fiber optic system assessments. Every ModCon unit undergoes rigorous testing with Arden’s MPX Modal Explorer to ensure compliance with international standards, regardless of the input's modal distribution. This meticulous testing process guarantees that each ModCon delivers the precise performance needed for high-quality measurements. Furthermore, Arden Photonics offers a Certificate of Conformance or Test Sheet with each ModCon, assisting you in maintaining comprehensive records of your test equipment. This documentation is invaluable for meeting industry standards and ensuring traceability in your measurement processes.
