The SMA connectorized fiber holder, HFB001 can be used to secure multimode fiber cables to our family of flexure based nanopositioners and accessories. The SMA style connector is almost exclusively used for multimode optical fibers.

The ST™ connectorized fiber holder, HFB002 can be used to secure fiber cables with industry-standard ST™ connectors to the mounting platforms of nanopositioners and brackets. The ST™ style connector is most often used for industrial or medical applications that include single mode optical fibers.

The FC connectorized fiber holder, HFB003 can be used to secure fiber cables with industry-standard FC/PC connectors to the mounting platforms of our multi-axis flexure stages. The center of the connector is positioned 12.5 mm above the platform to provide the appropriate optical axis height.

■ Load Capacity: 30N This force sensing cell can be used to position an optical fiber with respect to another device in the direction

■ Sensitivity: 0.03N of the optical axis. When the fiber makes contact with the device, a force arises that is detected by the cell,

generating an electrical signal that is sent to the actuator controller to indicate that the desired position has been reached.

For stepper motor and piezoelectric controllers that support this feature please see our extensive Drive Electronics section that starts on page 327.

This force sensing cell is similar to the FC/PC version detailed above, however this model is used to position a bare optical fiber with respect to another device in the direction of the optical axis. When the fiber makes contact with the device, a force arises that is detected by a strain gage. An electrical signal is generated that is available for the actuator controller to indicate that the desired position has been reached.
