We’re proud to be exhibiting at BiOS/Photonics West 2012, and we hope to see you there!

Be sure to visit us at BiOS and Photonics West 2012, where we’ll be introducing NEW 100kHz swept source (HSL-mini), and our LCOS based Wave Processor for Next Generation ROADM and high speed optical component test systems as well as Compact OCT System, IVS-300.

NEW! 100kHz Swept Source  HSL-mini

Santec introduces a 100kHz MEMS based high speed swept source. The advanced source realizes fast scans up to 100 kHz, while maintaining a wide scan rage of over 150 nm. These features provide a distinctive advantage in ultra high-speed imaging or motion-sensitive applications, i.e. ophthalmology and endoscope applications.

• Santec proprietary MEMS technology
• 100kHz unidirectional sweep
• Wide swept range >150nm
• K-Trigger integrated
• Stable operation
• 1.3um wavelength band (1.06um available later)
• Compact size (144x193x75mm)
• OEM package/Custom available
• USB interface

Compact OCT System IVS-300

This all-in-one, portable system is especially suitable for feasibility studies in clinical research applications, or for preliminary general OCT studies. This system provides a low cost solution and a simple interface, like a microscope.

• High performance
  - High speed: 30kHz A line rate
  - High axial resolution: – High sensitivity: >100dB
• Easy operation
  - Touch panel
  - 2D/3D image
• Compact 2 axis handheld probe
• High-Resolution type & Cross Polarization type available
• Free 3D Viewer attached

Swept Test System STS-510

The Santec Swept Test System, STS-510, has been developed to streamline photonic testing, providing a complete solution where high-speed analysis with high resolution and accuracy is key. Combining Santec’s 5^th generation tunable laser, TSL-510, with a Santec Swept Processing Unit SPU-100 and custom software the complete STS-510 system optimizes WDL measurement for use in both R&D and production environments.

• Accurate WDL characteristics measurement (high power repeatability <+/-0.02dB))
• Automatic normalization of laser source power
• High wavelength resolution & accuracy
• Reduced measurement time
• Supporting LabVIEW control software
• Optical components and modules characterization
• Photonic material characterization

WaveProcessor^TM WPA-900

The WPA-900 is a system programmable to generate arbitrary filter shapes with santec’s unique LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technology. It can be used as an optical equalizer for high-speed signals, as an adaptive DWDM channel filtering, or as a flexible test and measurement system.

• Programmable arbitrary spectral shaping
• Attenuation and bandwidth variable for each individual ITU-T grids
• Excellent frequency resolution, 0.2GHz (typ.)
• Optical equalizer for high-speed optical signals
• 40Gb/s, 100Gb/s transmission test
