Laser-to-Fiber
The Laser-to-Fiber Coupling System consists of the FiberBench Base, a LaserPort and a FiberPort, with one output FiberCable with cleaved distal end . The Laser-to-Fiber Coupling System is "empty" (containing no Optical Component Modules), and is used for directly coupling a diode laser output into a fiber.
LaserPorts are available for the following laser types:
5.6 mm, 9.0 mm or TO3.
OFR mounts and aligns customer furnished lasers. However, OFR bears no responsibility for performance of customer furnished laser, nor for damage to same while in OFR possession.
In all FiberBench Coupling Systems using OFR PM FiberCables, both the slow axis and the FC receptacle keyway are vertical. Both the plane of polarization and the fiber stress rods are vertical.
A major feature of OFR FiberBench Coupling Systems is stability. Transmittance remains constant after temperature change, shock and vibration far greater than experienced in typical laboratory use.

A Non-Cooled Laser-to-Fiber Coupling System consists of a FiberBench with a Non-Cooled input LaserPort and an output FiberPort. A customer-furnished 5.6 mm or 9.0 mm laser is mounted on the LaserPort.
A Cooled Laser-to-Fiber Coupling System consists of a FiberBench with a T-E Cooled input LaserPort and an output FiberPort. A customer-furnished 5.6 mm or 9.0 mm laser is mounted on the cooled LaserPort. Included are the T-E cooling element and calibrated thermistor. OFR does not furnish the power supply.
A Cooled TO3 Laser-to-Fiber Coupling System consists of a FiberBench with an input LaserPort for TO3 laser and an output FiberPort. The customer-furnished TO3 laser and heatsink are mounted on the specially adapted LaserPort. OFR does not furnish the power supply.

| When ordering, specify options as follows: |
l : Laser Type
λ : Wavelength in nm
X: Connector Interface (FC/APC)
For example FLBM-S-9.0-830-X. |
KIT...FiberBench Systems are also available
as Build-it-Yourself KITs, FLBM-S-l-?-X
or call OFR and speak to an engineer. |
Laser-Interface Isolators (IO-PAF)
| The OFR Laser-Interface Isolator permits coupling of a free-space laser beam into the FiberPort, at the same time isolating the laser. IO-PAF Isolated FiberPorts contain an OFR IO-D “Aspirin Tablet” Isolator (page OC-00), with insertion loss <0.2 dB and isolation 40-45 dB. Standard wavelengths are 1310 nm and 1550 nm, and others are available. When ordering, specify vertical or horizontal input polarization. FiberCable is ordered separately. |
