GLOBAL OPTICAL FREQUENCY DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER MARKET

INTRODUCTION

 Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) is a special technology which is used for the analysis of optical light paths and reflection characteristics in optical fibers and components.

Frequency Domain Reflectometers performs a sweep of frequencies of the transmission line input, and then using Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) on the reflected signals, convert them back to time domain. In a typical OFDR system a tunable laser source is swept over a certain wavelength band (e.g. 1535nm-1565nm).

The light is then sent into a fiber and consequently brought into interference with a reference arm. From the Fourier transformation of the resulting signal the spatial distribution of the reflected light is measured.

The reflection can results from the intrinsic Rayleigh scattering of the glass or can be enlarged by in fiber, low reflective, continuously written Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG).

The measurement of strain and temperature is done by tracking the changes of the Rayleigh or FBG reflection pattern or peaks. The advantage of using FBGs over Rayleigh is an increased signal to noise ratio which leads to higher measurement speeds.

With OFDR measurement technology it is possible to measure strain or temperature in sub-Millimeter resolution over several 10´s of meters.

OPTICAL FREQUENCY DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

Global optical frequency domain reflectometer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.

NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH IN OPTICAL FREQUENCY DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER MARKET

Anritsu Corporation announced the release of two models of its newly developed 1550 nm wavelength swept light sources for sensing applications in a wide variety of fields covering industrial, medical, and infrastructure/factory measurements.

The released models are the standalone bench top AQA5500P with a sweep frequency of 1.25 kHz and AQB5500P (150 Hz sweep frequency).Since all models are single-longitudinal-mode, narrow-band, swept light sources without mode-hopping, they feature both phase continuity and high coherence.

Using these swept light sources for optical- interferometry-based length measurement systems, such as OFDR*1, supports high-accuracy measurement over a wide distance range.For example, the 150 Hz sweep frequency light sources with a coherence length of more than 100 m can measure distance ranges beyond 100 m.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION IN OPTICAL FREQUENCY DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER MARKET

The highest resolution reflectometer and analyzer on the market are made possible by the Santec TSL's broad sweeping range and theSPA-100. Due to its special suitability for small devices like silicon photonic circuits, fiber optic parts, and compact fiber optic assemblies, the system is now particularly useful for their analysis. 

The bundled software shows a trace of reflectance and loss events that occurred along the waveguide and allows you to find defects and quantify things like waveguide length and refractive index.

The SPA-100 system combines coherence detection technology to perform transmissive wavelength dependent loss measurement with a large dynamic range in a single scan in addition to producing a reflectance trace, saving measuring time by eliminating the need to switch optical power meter ranges.
