Test and Measurement
Optical Wavelength Meters
Bristol Instruments

Absolute wavelength of WDM lasers are measured to ± 0.3 pm, guaranteed by continuous calibration with a built-in wavelength standard. Reliable accuracy, a rugged design, and affordability satisfy the needs of the R&D scientist and the manufacturing engineer. www.bristol-inst.com

Cable/MSO
ADS-NEXT™ - New Final Polishing Film for Optical Connector
NTT Advanced Technology Corporation

ADS-NEXT™ is a new generation final polishing film that keeps all the benefits of the world-renowned ADS™ final polishing film and achieves extended life-span by preventing excessive fiber undercut after repeated use. www.ntt-at.com/product/ads/

Equipment Design
USB To Fiber Optic Bit-Driver
S.I. Tech

Supports USB 1.1 and 2.0 plug and play, multimode or singlemode for secure communication, remote security cameras, instruments, or other USB devices, extended-distance. EMI/RFI immunity. Order: 1.KIT #26 for complete multimode system. 11.3181/3182 for tempest version. www.sitech-bitdriver.com

Equipment Design
Fiber Optics Detectors
Newport Corporation

Newport's new 818-xx-L-FC/DB Photodiode Fiber Optic Detectors are based on the industry standard 818 Series detectors, but with a new 884-FC fiber optic adapter mounted on it, making it a low cost alternative. UV Silicon, Silicon, Germanium, and InGaAs versions are introduced. FC/APC and SMA connectors are easily accommodated by replacing the 884-FC with 884-FCA and 884-SMA, respectively. Unscrewing the fiber adapter makes it a free space detector. www.newport.com
