Tunable Laboratory Dispersion Compensators – TDCMB

Patrice Dionne

Product Line Manager

The TDCMB is a tunable, fully integrated emulator / compensator that provides accurate dynamic control of chromatic dispersion for test and measurement applications. The instrument features indie’s fiber-Bragg grating (FBG) technology, which has a broad dispersion range and operational bandwidth. The TDCMB is available in benchtop and rackmount versions. The control software interface allows for easy integration and minimal setup time for experimental configurations.

  • Our exclusive FBG dispersion management technology makes our devices extremely compact.
  • The tunable TDCMB is a dual-use chromatic dispersion emulator + compensator, making it a uniquely versatile instrument for research and testing.

Key Features and Benefits

Versatile:
The TDCMB provides both emulation and compensation of chromatic dispersion within one product, reducing the number of parts needed in a test and measurement setup.

Tunable:
The TDCMB provides accurate dynamic control of chromatic dispersion for any channel in a test and measurement application.

User-Friendly:
The TDCMB control software interface is easy to install and intuitive to operate.

Compact:
The TDCMB is available in either space-saving benchtop or half 1U 19-inch rack-mountable versions.
