Optical Variable Delay Line
(systems, modules, components, electro-optic switching, motor-driven, 0.01ps to ms)
Photonwares provides a full range of best-in-class optical and microwave delay solutions, including ultra-fast nanosecond variable delay, motor-driven delay lines, customer-defined fiber coil length selective delay, high resolution digitally switching delay lines; RF integrated delay systems. We produce turn-key systems with computer GUI, OEM modules, and components. These delay lines can be reconfigured at high speed up to nano-seconds and with direct RF conversions. Perfected over 20 years, we uniquely offer 0.01ps to ms large delay range, high time precision, and high variable resolution with both fiber loops for the long delay and dielectric medium for a short delay. These products are calibrated and tested using a special precision time delay measurement system.
