60FC-F-4-A11-02

The fiber collimators series 60FC-F 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 collimator type 60FC-F include:

Optics
The asphere with focal length 11 mm is designed for collimating single wavelengths and are corrected for spherical aberration. It is AR-coated from 600 - 1100 nm. The focus position varies strongly with wavelength so that the collimator has to be recollimated after any changes to the wavelength. Due to the manufacturing process of molded aspheres the lens performance is limited. This lens type is suitable for UHV applications.

Fine-thread adjustment of focus
The distance between fiber end-face and collimating optics is adjusted using a fine-threaded ring. The lens in these fiber collimators is spring-loaded. The linear bearing ensures that the lens does not rotate when adjusting the focus. The final focus setting is locked by means of two radially arranged clamping screws.

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-F is made from nickel silver (standard)

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