SKU: PIPS
The Piezoelectric Fiber Phase Shifter (PIPS) provides variable optical phase shift or time delay of up to 100 mm. It is based on a patent-pending technology that separates a pair of precisely aligned optical fibers using a piezoelectric actuator. This approach eliminates the poor reliability and non-repeatable behavior associated with traditional fiber-stretching phase shifters, delivering high reliability, high repeatability, fast response, and low insertion loss, while preserving polarization and mode field integrity. The device is compatible with common fiber types, including single-mode (SM), polarization-maintaining (PM), and large-mode-area (LMA) fibers. A compact driver is available for device mounting, providing 0–5 V control with modulation frequencies up to 5 kHz; control is via an SMA input, and power is supplied by 12 V DC. Designed for fast, continuous operation, the PIPS achieves large phase excursions near mechanical resonance, reducing required drive power for applications demanding strong phase modulation. Each unit is fully tested and calibrated prior to shipment, resulting in a robust and cost-effective solution for precision fiber-optic phase shifting. For high-speed operation, the unit requires a heat sink.
The piezoelectric device’s response is not linear and not repeatable. It is typically used for broad scanning or using a feedback controller for precision.
