The laser has a beam diameter of 0 81 mm and divergence 1 0 mrad.
Laser diode fiber optic coupling.
The rp photonics buyer s guide contains 74 suppliers for fiber coupled diode lasers.
Fiber optics are widely used in laser technology because of their ability to trap light and guide it from one location to another without experiencing.
While all of toptica s diode lasers can be combined with toptica s versatile fiber launch.
Core diameter and numerical aperture we mentioned how the numerical aperture depends on the relationship between the index of the core and the cladding and that this directly relates to the angular.
Further a microlens can cause maximum coupling if it has sufficiently large aperture so as to collect the entire incident light its transformed spot size matches the laser spot size and it will have no spherical aberration 1 2.
Different kinds of microlenses are fabricated on fiber tips in order to maximise laser to fiber coupling.
An even more important restriction is that the angle from the lens to the fiber θ 2 must be less than the na of the optical fiber.
The beam was delivered via a 1 mm diameter optic fiber terminated with a 200 mm collimating and focussing optic attached to a motoman up20 robot see figure 20 5a.
The fiber end is either open or terminated with an optical connector both pc and apc polishing can be done.
