Single-mode ber enables the user to decouple the laser

beam astigmatism and dynamic beam pointing instability

from the measurement application. Fiber also provides

a convenient packaging solution by relocating sources of

heat and by removing bulk components thereby reducing

the number of optical surfaces from the beam alignment

scheme.

The kineMATIX

is patented opto-mechanical mount used

to align the laser beam into the single-mode ber. The

kinematic design of the kineMATIX coupler enables true

‘Plug & Play’ benets for single mode and polarization-

maintaining ber designs. Sub-micron repeatability and

sub-microradian stability mean systems can be aligned

once only and are stable for multiple remove and insert

operations, thus providing true modularity for instrument

designs. The kineMATIX manipulator is included in the

kineFLEX ber delivery system.

Qioptiq ber systems can be customized for exacting OEM

specications. Outputs can be congured to produce pure

Gaussian proles with extremely low wavefront error, as

well as engineered spatial proles and shapes.

Fiber systems may also be minituarized into custom OEM

picoFLEX™ ber designs. In the same way, the kineMATIX

manipulator mount and ber output mechanics can be

customized to better suit the application. Contact us to

discuss your requirements.

Product feature highlights:

• TEM

output - diffraction limited, Gaussian, spatially

ltered output beam

• Extremely stable output beam, with class leading

beam pointing stability at < 1µrad/˚C

• True modularity for instrument design: “Plug & Play”

• Highly insensitive to opto-mechanical thermal effects

• Truly co-linear beams for multiple laser lines

• Custom options available
