Variable Optical Delay Line provides precision optical path variation of more than 300 ps. The compact, rugged design makes the device ideal for integration in network equipment, test instruments, and optical for integration in network equipment, test instruments, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems for precision optical path length or timing alignment.

* Above specifications are measured at center wavelength without connector. For devices with connectors, IL increases by 0.5 dB, RL decreases by 5 dB, ER decreases by 2 dB.
**Absolute delay at 0 ps setting measured to the edge of the enclosure (excluding caps, boots, and pigtails).
