For the convenient coupling of the light into our range of fiber optic cables, bundles and probes it is necessary that the light is collected and can be coupled through SMA-905 connectors. Avantes offers different light sources for the different applications and wavelength ranges, as can be seen in the table 5. Tungsten Halogen light sources are mostly used for the visible range to do color measurements. The halogen light source provides a very stable output and has a lifetime, depending on the color temperature of the bulb. The high stability of the halogen light sources enables the use as color reflection illumination source or as irradiance calibration light source. The most important feature of the halogen light is that the spectral output is smooth and monotonic without spikes or dips.   </font></p> <h4 align="center"><font color="#000066"><b>Introduction Fiber Optics</b></font></h4> <p ALIGN="LEFT"><font size="2">The use of fiber optics as light guidance allows a great modularity and flexibility in the setup of an optical measurement system. Optical fibers can be made of many materials, such as plastic, glasses and silicates (SiO2). For high quality fiber optics, as used in spectroscopic applications, synthetic fused silica (amorphous silicon dioxide) is used, that can be intentionally doped with trace elements to adjust the optical properties of the glass.</font></p> <p ALIGN="LEFT"><font size="2">The basic principle of light transport through an optical fiber is total internal reflection. This means that the light within the numerical aperture of a fiber (NA = input acceptance cone) will be reflected and transported through the fiber. The size of the numerical aperture depends on the materials used for core and cladding.</font></p> <p ALIGN="LEFT"><font size="2">Two basic types of silica fibers can be distinguished; singlemode and multi-mode fibers, depending on the propagation state of the light, traveling down the fiber. For most spectroscopic applications multi-mode fibers are used. Multi-mode fibers can be divided into 2 subcategories, step-index and graded-index. A relatively large core and high NA allow light to be easily coupled into the fiber, which allows the use of relatively inexpensive termination techniques. Step-index fibers are mainly used in spectroscopic applications.</font></p> <p ALIGN="LEFT"><font size="2">Graded-index multimode fibers have a refractive index gradually decreasing from the core out through the cladding. Since the light travels faster in material with lower refractive index, the modal dispersion (amount of pulse-spreading) will be less. These graded-index fibers are mainly used in telecommunication application, where bandwidth at long distance (2-15 km) plays an important role.</font></p> <p ALIGN="LEFT"><img border="0" src="images/logo.gif" width="81" height="30" alt="Fiber Optic Cable - Avantes"></p> <p><a href="http://www.kwmap.net/"><font size="1">KwMap.net - browse the Keyword Map of Avantes.com</font></a> <p><font size="1" color="#000000">last updated 25-11-04</font></p> <p> </p> </font></body>
