Optical Fibers and Fiber Coupling

The use of optical fibers makes it possible to separate the laser and the point of application of the light.
This enables the design of compact devices by housing the light source in a separate unit. Thermal
management, for example, is also easier to handle and does not have to be implemented on the device
itself. In addition, optical fibers allow systems with high stability as thermal or mechanical movements do
not affect the light guided in the optical fiber. However, this high stability can only be achieved if the
coupling of the light into the fiber and the coupling of the fiber to the device itself exhibit this stability.
LASOS has developed the patented PFC (Precision Fiber Coupling) fiber connector system for this purpose.
It allows the realization of repeatable, adjustment-free optical connectors with polarization-maintaining
single-mode fibers. This is made possible by combining a special plug (PFC plug) with a corresponding
socket (PFC socket). These are matched in such a way that any laser equipped with a PFC plug can be
plugged into such a socket without alignment.

All LASOS laser series can be equipped with a fiber coupling. In addition to the PFC connector, LASOS also
offers standard FC connectors and a collimator (PSC) that is compatible with standard fiber manipulators.
Customized solutions are possible.

Beam combining units

Many applications require not just a single laser, but several laser wavelengths, e.g. for fluorescence
excitation in microscopy or flow cytometry. LASOS offers dichroic beam combiners that can be
customized. Together with the LASOS precision plug- connection (PFC), they offer a modular system for
setting up multi-color systems. The beam combiners have a connection for the LASOS PFC connector so
that lasers can be connected to the slots without the need for adjustment. Changing lasers during
servicing or connecting another laser to an unused slot is also possible without any problems. The beam
combiners are also a core component of the LASOS systems (link here) and therefore enable simple
servicing or an upgrade in the field.
