Mode Conditioning Patchcords
The Laser 2000 mode conditioning patchcord optimises the singlemode launch nature of the LX (1310 nm) transceiver
modules used for Gigabit Ethernet that must operate over both singlemode and multimode fibre. It allows laser transmitters
to operate at gigabit rates over multimode fibre without being unduly limited by differential mode delay (DMD). This ensures
an effective bandwidth for the system, closer to that measured when using an over-filled launch condition.

Singlemode Couplers (Dual Window, Wideband)
Laser 2000 couplers are used to split or couple light in fixed ratios at specific wavelengths. Couplers are particularly useful
in splitting the output of a single source into multiple fibres, or for taking the output of multiple lasers and combining them
onto multiple fibres. When used to combine two or more sources, the power is shared between all of the output fibres.
Please refer to the section on WDMs on page 10 for other methods of combining two or more lasers efficiently. Tree, star,
and 1x3 unitary couplers are available. Please ask.

PM Couplers
Unlike singlemode fibres, where the polarisation of the output is essentially randomised with respect to the input, PM couplers
maintain the polarisation throughout the entire coupling process. The fibre used is Panda™ fibre, and both the input and output
arms are truly fused at the point of coupling.

Isolators, Circulators & Collimators
Polarisation Independent Isolators
Laser 2000 isolators attenuate the harmful back reflections that propagate along optical path which can cause fluctuations in
output power, increased noise, and in extreme cases can damage or even destroy sensitive laser components. These isolators
are rugged and robust and are supplied with a range of different connector options to enable quick and easy installation.

Fusion Splicers, Cleavers, and Accessories
Laser 2000 offers a comprehensive range of core alignment, clad alignment, and PM splicers and accessories. All our fusion
splicers have outstanding reliability, portability, and are simple to use. Whether you need to splice single mode, multimode,
large core, or polarisation maintaining single fibres or fibre ribbons, we got the solution for you. Our product portfolio also
includes splicer protectors, cleavers, fibre splitters, holders, and cleaning accessories.
Fusion Splicers
The NJ001 features the industry’s first detachable V-groove, and retains the tool-less electrode
replacement and mirror free alignment system of its predecessor the S123C. These features make it
easier to maintain the fusion splicer to an optimal condition. The large battery capacity ensures that
the NJ001 is capable of performing 100 splicing and heating cycles on a single battery charge, with fast
splicing (approximately 13 seconds) and fast heating (approximately 20 seconds) for single fibres.
The splicing chamber has been redesigned to give 4 times more space around the fibre holders,
providing easy fibre loading and the 3 LED lamps illuminating the splicing chamber make it
easier to work in a dark environment.
Cleavers
Our hand held high precision cleavers provide a one-step cleaving action with simple fibre
loading and operation in a portable and durable design. The S326 is suitable for all fibre types
from single fibres to 12-fibre ribbons, offers a high capacity waste fibre collection and easy
maintenance design. Simply pressing the lever completes the fibre cleave and automatically
collects the waste. The long-life blade has 24 positions and lasts for 48,000 fibre cleaves.
Accessories
Our splice protectors offer a single opening, preventing the fibre from incorrect assembly.
The products are pre-shrunk head bonded, environmentally sealed, and RoHS compliant.

WDMs
Wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs) act to combine two different wavelengths onto a single fibre. They do this with
low insertion loss and without the coupling losses associated with singlemode couplers/splitters, and are available at many
wavelengths. WDMs are fully reversible and can be used to demultiplex different wavelengths from a single fibre.

Hybrid Coding – Optimise Network Costs With Hybrid Transceivers
The Challenge
Fibre optic networks usually involve platforms from several different vendors. Consequently, the customer might have
to manage and stock platform-specific part numbers even for transceivers of identical type.
Skylane Optics can offer a solution, hybrid coding, which allows the customer to use one single transceiver part number
for different platforms. The main benefit of this solution is to reduce the amount of part numbers used by the customer
as well as simplifying the logistic set-up and maintenance.
Main Benefits
Solution Overview – Hybrid Coded Transceiver
A hybrid coded transceiver is a transceiver which is compatible
with multiple vendor’s platforms.
Reduced amount
of different part numbers
Less part numbers needed
and stock management/
logistics will be simplified
Simplified maintenance
1
Skylane Optics offers solutions for a variety of combinations.
Below are just a few examples on approved and verified solutions.
Instead of having several
part numbers required
during maintenance in
the field, one part number
will do the job.
Customised solutions

Polarisation Components
Polarisation Diversity Detector
PDD-001
Simultaneously detecting the power of two
orthogonal polarisation components is important
for many sensor and measurement applications.
A pigtailed polarisation beam splitter coupled
with two photodetectors can be used for such
applications, however, this arrangement
is bulky, troublesome to handle, and costly.
By integrating polarisation splitting components
with photodetectors, this compact device
easily mounts onto a circuit board. Dubbed
as polarisation diversity detector, PDD-001
features high detection sensitivity, high extinction
ratio, high reliability, small size, and low cost.

Fibre Optic Depolariser
PolaZero™
Capable of depolarising lasers with coherence
lengths of several kilometres, this passive depolariser
is miles ahead of the competition. The patentpending device surprisingly comes in a small package
(85 x 60 x 10 mm for lasers with coherence lengths
up to 10 metres). Devices for longer coherence
lengths (up to several kilometres) can be custom
made with minimum charges. The PolaZero is ideal
for eliminating the effects of PDL or polarisation
sensitivity of optical components and instruments.
Equally important, it can be used for depolarising
pump lasers to eliminate the polarisation sensitivity
of Raman amplifiers. The rugged package provides
high performance and superb environmental stability.

Polarisation Components (continued)
Polarisation Beam Combiner / Splitter
PBC-001
PBC-001 can be used either as a polarisation beam combiner
to combine two light beams from two PM fibres into a single
fibre, or as polarisation beamsplitter to split light from an input
fibre into two output fibres of orthogonal polarisation states.
An important application of the device is for polarisation
division multiplexing or demultiplexing in optical systems to
increase their transmission capacity. In addition, as a pump
combiner in optical amplifiers, the device efficiently combines
two pump lasers into a single fibre to increase the optical
amplifiers’ saturation power and to reduce its polarisation
sensitivity. The wide operation bandwidth and high power
handling capability (2000 mW) make the device very attractive
for next-generation amplifier systems. Finally, with a rugged
stainless package designed for high optical performance and
stability, this compact device offers low excess insertion loss,
low back reflection, and high extinction ratio.

General Lab Test
MAP Series
The MAP-200 mainframes are offered in four configurations for optimal
adaptability within test sets: a three-slot configuration and a 19-inch rack,
eight slot configuration with either front- or rear-facing orientation
for optimal fibre routing. The three and eight slot models are 3 RU high,
the two slot chassis is 2 RU high and comes as one-half of a 19” rack.
The MAP-200 mainframes include all hardward required for benchtop
use, including rubber-accented feet located at the corners for optimal
stability and vibration isolation. Investment protection is maximised for
previous-generation MAP customers using a simple transition kit that
allows the insertion of previously field-deployed MAP modules in the
MAP-200 mainframe. The MAP-200 also provides additional cost
savings by letting users share the modules within a mainframe.
