kineFLEX - Laser to Fiber Couplers - Point Source - #1

Text version of the page

PSM1001_3 – April 2008 The kineFLEX™ is a robust laser beam delivery system for precision measurement applications. Designed around pre-focussed and integrated optical assemblies the fiber is automatically mode matched to your laser parameters to achieve transmission efficiencies greater than 65%. Singlemode fiber enables the user to decouple the laser beam astigmatism and dynamic beam pointing instability from the measurement application. Fiber also provides a convenient packaging solution by relocating sources of heat and by removing bulk components thereby reducing the number of optical surfaces from the beam alignment scheme. The kinematic design of the laser to fiber coupler enables true ‘Plug & Play’ benefits for singlemode and polarization-preserving fiber designs. Sub-micron repeatability and submicroradian stability mean systems can be aligned once only and are stable for multiple remove and insert operations, thus providing true modularity for instrument designs. Point Source fiber systems can be customized for exacting OEM specifications. Outputs can be configured to produce pure Gaussian profiles, extremely low wavefront and zero aberrations, as well as engineered spatial profiles and shapes. Singlemode fiber designs are also available for multi-Watt powers, broadband transmission (>240nm), and Ultra-High Vacuum compatibility. kineFLEX Mitchell Point, Hamble, UK, SO31 4RF Email: sales@point-source.com USA: 1 800 898 6504 Europe: +44 2380 744500 Fax: +44 2380 744501 www.point-source.com kineFLEX™ is a trademark of Point Source Ltd.
