Optical multiplexer links light to 16 outputs

Optical fibre multiplexer can optically couple a light source to either 8 or 16 outputs in sequential order.

The MPM-2000 optical fibre multiplexer from Mikropack is a-high precision instrument that can optically couple a light source to either 8 or 16 outputs in sequential order.

In addition it can be used to couple optically a spectrometer to either 8 or 16 inputs.

Multiplexers are often found in industries such as chemistry, pharmaceutical, laboratory and glass where multiple locations need to be measured with multiple probes, all with one spectrometer channel and/or light source.

The MPM-2000 provides accurate measurements with a repeatability of 99% and offers optical throughput of greater than 60%.

The light is distributed in sequential order, with switching times between channels of less than 150ms.

The MPM-2000 has a precisely controlled DC motor on a rotator block.

An encoder converts the incremental movements into a digital pulsed output.

Each channel features a collimating lens connecting to an internal optical fibre system.

The optical multiplexer is available in a one I/O version for connecting a light source or a spectrometer to 16 channels, and a two I/O version for connecting both a light source and a spectrometer to eight channels each.

These are available in both UV/VIS (250-800nm) and VIS/NIR (350-2000nm) versions.

The Multiplexer interfaces to a PC via an RS-232 port and comes with software and a driver for complete PC control.

A USB version is also available.

The software enables full control of the switching order, switching delay time and system calibration.
