Introduction to ROF Optical Delay Line – Industry Trends and Best Practices

June 30 09:27 2026

Introduction to ROF Optical Delay LineThe ROF series of optical delay line can achieve continuous and precise adjustment and control of optical phase, and are widely used in fields such as optical interference, microwave communication, and spectral analysis. According to the driving method, it is divided into two categories: the Motorized optical delay line MODL series (stepper motor drive, supporting remote computer control) and the manual optical delay line ODL series (knob drive, no external power supply required), covering the full range phase control requirements from 330ps to 2000ps.

1 Motorized optical delay line MODL sub series – Powered by an electric stepper motor and compatible with RS485/RS422/RS232 remote control, suitable for automated testing and precision control systems:MODL-300: Low volume basic model, maximum delay 333psMODL-600: Medium Range Standard, Maximum Delay 666ps MODL-1000: High precision version with a large range, maximum delay of 1000psMODL-1200: Ultra large range version with a maximum delay of 1200psMODL-2000: Extra large travel model with a maximum delay of 2000ps

2 Manual Optical Delay Line ODL Subseries – Adopting manual knob direct drive, no external power supply or control equipment required, simple and portable operation, suitable for laboratory rapid debugging and simple measurement scenarios: ODL-300: Small range manual version, maximum delay 330psODL-600: Medium range manual version, maximum delay 660ps

3 General Main Features – Small size, compact structure – High precision phase delay controlLarge adjustment range, supporting continuous phase adjustment, Low insertion loss and insertion loss variation, Stable and reliable work, Support customization according to user needs

4 series unique features: – Motorized series: supports remote computer control, can achieve automated scanning and precise positioningManual series: No need for external power supply, ready to install and use, easy to operate

5 General Application Fields – Fiber optic interferometer, Coherent communication system, spectral analysis, Radar testing and calibration, Fiber optic network testing system
