60FC-4-RGBV11-47-Ti

The fiber collimators series 60FC is designed for collimating radiation exiting optical fiber cables with high pointing stability. They can also be used in reverse-mode as fiber incouplers. They are suitable for single-mode and polarization-maintaining fiber cables leading to collimated beams with a Gaussian intensity profile.
The features of the coupler type 60FC include:

Optics
The RGBV optics (achromats and even apochromats) with focal length 11 mm is designed for optimum multiple wavelength collimation by minimizing the chromatic focal shift for all wavelengths from 400 to 700 nm. It is AR-coated from 400 to 700 nm. It is corrected for spherical aberrations and designed in such a way that it leads to a diffraction-limited beam with an M² < 1.05. A recollimation for wavelengths 400 - 700 nm is not necessary. It is not suitable for UHV applications.

Adjustment of focus
The distance between fiber end-face and collimating optics is adjusted by means of an eccentric key. The lens does not rotate when adjusting the focus. The final focus setting is locked by means of two radially arranged clamping screws. Additionally attachment optics of series 60FC can be mounted to the front of the collimator.

Optimum lens performance
The angled polish of connectors of type APC is considered by a pre-angled mechanical coupling axis that compensates the beam deflection and you can use the lens centrically. This minimizes aberrations simply resulting from a non-ideal beam path through the lens.

Connector Type
The fiber collimator is equipped with a FC-APC type receptacle. Because of the spring-loaded fiber ferrule the fiber collimator has an additional grub screw to increase pointing stability.

Material
The fiber collimator type 60FC is made from amagnetic titanium. The relative permeability is near 1 (µr = 1.00005) making it almost transparent to magnetic fields. The linear coefficient of thermal expansion is close to that of the optics so that a thermal stability over a larger temperature range can be expected.

Mounting
The collimator can be placed into a standard mirror mount using the corresponding adapters.
