Create a fixed time delay with our fiber optic coil
According to your delay requirement, we advise and provide the most appropriate time delay coil. The optical delay depends on the fiber type and length. For example, a 20 km fiber coil will create a fixed delay up to 100 µs.
How to calculate a delay according to a fiber length? To calculate the required fiber length to obtain a specific time delay, use the following formula: L = c Δt / n where c is the speed of light in vacuum, Δt is the desired time delay, and n is the index of refraction of fused silica at the wavelength of interest (use n = 1.4677 at 1310 nm and n = 1.4682 at 1550 nm).
