Fiber-laser module A new module for Rsoft’s OptSim, optical communication simulation platform, will incorporate fiber-laser and amplifier subsystems designed with Liekki Application Designer (LAD) into OptSim’s system environment. Users will now be able to study the impact of erbium- and ytterbium-

doped fiber lasers and amplifiers in the context of full system designs. Rsoft Design Group, Ossining, NY info@rsoftdesign.com

Epoxy adhesive

TRA-Bond F120 is a two-part fast-cure epoxy adhesive. The medium

viscosity material has a pot life of five minutes, allowing it to gel within minutes at room temperature. It can also be heat cured. The adhesive was developed for fiberoptic and optical bonding applications such as lens mounting, connector backfills, and printed-circuit-board repairs. Tra-Con, Bedford, MA sales@tra-con.com

Retractable
fiberoptic patchcords

The SureLink cassette dispenses simplex and duplex fiberoptic patchcords up to 5 m long and safely stores unused lengths on a spool within its protective housing. A magnetic locking feature allows cassettes to be stacked and attached to equipment. The cable utilizes a patent pending LightHelix core consisting of an optical fiber laminated to a spiral spring.

Ultrafast rectifiers

The 8-A, 600 V UH8JT and UHF8JT single high-voltage ultrafast rectifiers provide a reverse recovery time of 25 ns. Forward recovery time is 150 ns under LEM test conditions (IF = 8A, di/dt = 64 A/µs, VF = 1. 1 × VF-max) and a low forward-voltage drop rating of 1. 85 V at 125°C. Built using planar chip-junction technology, the
