When connecting a multi-furcated fibre to a spectrometer or light source, light entering/exiting each of the fibre legs may or may not be uniform, so a fibre-optic homogenizer can be used to mix the signals to provide more uniform signal.
The compact MMA-UV/VIS-SMA fibre-optic homogenizer is made of anodized aluminium and has female SMA-905 connectors on both ends. Internally, a highly transmissive Suprasil-Rod with a diameter of 1 or 3mm transmits the light from one end to the other (from bundle to single fibre) and perfectly mixes the modes.
The fibre-optic homogenizer can also be used as a mode stripper.
