Fiber Optic Quality Tests Zisis Papandreou SPARRO Group, Regina Hall D Collaboration Meeting Bloomington, Indiana November 1st, 2001
Thousands of km… • BCAL: a few kilo-km of fibers • Quality control along length of spools • Method: • Quick, stable, reliable, reproducible • Optical source • Dedicated spectrometer & DAQ • Light transmission, attenuation, timing • Cross-check with ionization source
Ocean Optics Inc. • Consulted with Gamble Technologies • Issues for the SciFi quality control tests: • Spectrometer(s) • Light source(s) • ADC • Mounts and connectors; reproducibility • Portability • Cost
Spectrometer Option A • USB-2000 • Plug and play • Single channel • Small footprint • Accessories • Gratings, filters, slits • No power source • OOIBase32 (free) • calibration coeff.
Spectrometer Option B • SD-1000 • Dual channel • Small footprint • Accessories • Gratings, filters, slits • No power source • 2048 CCD array • Uses ADC1000USB
Light Source • LS450 • Stand alone or USB • White LED • 410-720 nm
Accesories • #3 Grating • 350-850 nm • Order sorting filter • OFLV-300-1000 • Slit • 50 m • Mount • Dremel chuck holder • Custom made • Connectors • SMA 905 • ADC
Regina: Option B • Spectrometer: SD1000 configured • Light source: LS-450 with suitable LED’s • Bifurcated fiber • Two P200-US/VIS fibers (to SD and LS) • SMA connectors and mounts • OOIBase32 software (free) • Reproducible, stable, bulky, assembly line tests
Option A • Spectrometer: USB1000 • Light source: LS-450 with suitable LED’s • Two P200-US/VIS fibers (to SD and LS) • SMA connectors and mounts • OOIBase32 software (free) • Reproducible ??, stable, portable, geared for smaller number of fibers
