Dispersion Slope Compensation
Over the long haul, dispersion becomes a factor to consider in optimizing your network. At OFS, we offer a full line of dispersion compensating modules, Dispersion Compensating Raman Amplifiers, and all-fiber modules to meet the unique needs of your system.
Dispersion Slope Compensating Modules
(DSCMs or DCMs)
Dispersion Slope Compensating Modules consist of a box with a spooled length of dispersion compensating fiber spliced to connectorized pigtails; some models are miniaturized. They provide an ideal solution for overcoming the effects of dispersion in conventional single mode fiber, and thereby, enabling wide band DWDM operation in the C- or L-bands at high bit rates. OFS RightWave Dispersion Compensating Modules are available with any dispersion value required at your operating wavelength.
For a description of some of the many options available in dispersion compensation from OFS, please download a copy of our Dispersion Slope Compensating Modules Brochure.

Dispersion Compensating Raman Amplifier (DCRA)
Through the last 5 years Raman amplification technology has matured. Distributed Raman Amplification, especially, has found widespread use. For discrete optical amplification, EDFAs (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers) are dominating the market, but with an increasing number of channels employed in transmission systems, discrete Raman amplification becomes more attractive, both technically and financially.
FemtoComp Module™
OFS FemtoComp Module is a fully fiber based device for dispersion management in femtosecond lasers and amplifiers working at a wavelength around 1 µm. |

Avioptics
Avioptics harsh environment cable optimizes high-performance aircraft and military vehicle applications. The cable design is based on 200 µm fibers and adds coating and strength members especially for the corrosive environments encountered on aircraft, including jet fuel, oil. Solvents, and hydrolytic liquids.
AquaLink
AquaLink coating is our newest defense against water in outdoor cabling applications.
FlightGuide
The FlightGuide family of aerospace fibers and cables offers high temperature and strength in graded-index fiber-based constructions. Multiple coating and cabling layers specialize the cables for military and aerospace use. Some FlightGuide fibers are available sold separately.
HCS
Hard Clad Silica (HCS) was invented by OFS scientists and now serves as the industry standard cladding material for optical glass fibers. HCS cladding imparts unusual strength to fiber and makes it easy to crimp and cleave connectors directly to the fiber using a hand tool in the field instead of more complex epoxy/polish methods.
OASiX
Optical Amplifier Simulation Software from OFS, OASiX is packaged with erbium-doped fibers sold for use in EDFAs. This software and graphical interface allows the designer to plug in modeling parameters shipped with the fiber and begin on-screen simulations. This reduces design time by predicting the performance of EDFA systems including optical components such as filters, isolators, and reflectors.
ST
This connector type features a bayonet-style nut and is commonly used in telecommunications applications.
TruePhase
TruePhase is the name to remember for all of OFS’s non-doped polarization maintaining fibers. These are single mode fibers optimized for different wavelengths and cladding size requirements.
V-System
This easy-to-use connectorization system simply plugs in with a reassuring click. It is available for simplex cables, or with a duplex latch housing for connectorizing zipcord. Connectorizing HCS coated fibers with V-System connectors takes less than 2 minutes per end when using the compatible OFS crimp and cleave kit.
ClearLite
One of the most complete, diverse lines of single-mode optical fiber you can find, ClearLite encompasses several families of photonic fibers, each optimized for different applications: 980, 1310 & 1550, Micro, Specialty Coated, Short Wavelength, and Polarization-Maintaining.
GyroSil
Designed specifically for gyroscopes and similar navigational instrumentation, GyroSil singlemode fiber has a small NA of 0.17 and reduced 80 µm cladding diameter to accommodate the tight bend radii and coiling designs inherent in gyroscopic and sensor applications.
PYROCOAT
PYROCOAT polyimide is our premier fiber coating for high-temperature applications. In recent years, we have further refined the polyimide properties to create new versions of PYROCOAT optimized for steam or chemical resistance. When applied over a hermetic carbon layer, it provides the best protection in the industry against the harshest environments.
UltraSil
Known in the medical industry for years for its ultra low water peak useful for high-power delivery, our UltraSil fibers are made from unique preforms that deliver both low OH and one of the highest NAs achievable with a silica cladding. These fibers are also finding new application in sensing when further coated with high-temperature polyimide.
