In the practical application of optical fiber sensing, the environmental stability of the device plays an significant role in the stability, efficiency and cost control of the optical fiber sensing system. Optizone products for optical fiber sensing have the advantages of excellent environmental stability and strong weathering resistance, and can adapt to various harsh environments.

Excellent environmental stability: Each product has passed the GR-1221-CORE standard test, and the test results are far better than the standard requirements. For example, for the insertion loss test of the polarization maintaining wavelength division multiplexer, the industry recommended standard is<0.5 dB in the 2000h damp heat test, while the change in insertion loss value of the optizone polarization maintaining wavelength division multiplexer before and after the 2500h damp heat test is less than 0.1dB, and the change of insertion loss before and after the dry test is<0.06dB, the change of the insertion loss of the low temperature test is less than 0.03dB. The change of the insertion loss value of the industry recommended standard 2000 cycles is 0.5dB, while the change of the insertion loss of Optizone products 4000 cycles is low to 0.12dB.

Strong weathering resistance: Optizone products have a TDL<0.1~0.3dBunder the working temperature of -40°C to 125°C, and the key parameters change very little under the conditions of high temperature, high humidity and high pressure, and have strong weathering resistance.

Optizone can customize a series of products according to different application requirements, such as polarization maintaining device series (band pass filter, isolator, wavelength division multiplexer, circulator, coupler, etc.), tapered fused fiber, beam collimator, optical fiber patchcord, isolator integrated components, wavelength division multiplexers, Faraday mirrors, optical switches, polarization beam combiners/splitters and other products and integrated components. Optizone can also provide sensing application modules for any integrated components.
