Description
ModCon Mode Controller is a revolutionary tool 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 sources, transforming them into stable and consistent Encircled Flux (EF) compliant outputs. By doing so, it ensures that your measurements adhere to the stringent standards set by IEC 61280-4-1:2009, providing you with peace of mind and confidence in your data.
Enhancing Measurement Accuracy One of the primary challenges in fiber optic testing is the variation in modal conditions between different light sources. This can lead to significant discrepancies in measurements such as Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) and Loss/Power Meter (LS/PM) loss assessments. The ModCon Mode Controller addresses this issue by standardizing the mode distribution launched into the fiber, regardless of the source type. This uniformity reduces uncertainty and enhances the accuracy of your measurements, ensuring better agreement between test data sets.
Compliance and Certification Every ModCon unit undergoes rigorous testing using Arden’s MPX Modal Explorer to guarantee its output meets the necessary standards, regardless of input variations. For professionals who require documentation for compliance purposes, Arden Photonics offers a Certificate of Conformance or Test Sheet. This documentation aids in fulfilling test equipment record-keeping obligations, making the ModCon not only a tool for precision but also a certifiable method for adhering to international standards.
Conclusion In summary, the Arden Photonics ModCon Mode Controller is an essential tool for anyone looking to achieve higher accuracy and repeatability in multi-mode fiber testing. Its ability to provide EF-compliant conditions makes it an indispensable asset in reducing measurement uncertainties and ensuring compliance with international standards. Whether you are optimizing for 850nm or 1300nm, the ModCon works seamlessly with all multi-mode fiber optic testers, making it a versatile addition to your testing suite.
