The couplers utilize Gooch & Housego’s (G&H) low-loss fused fiber technology. No light leaves the fiber, therefore no alignment is required and there are no unwanted reflections. Furthermore, the output fiber pigtails may be directly integrated into beam delivery systems. Visible Wavelength SM Fiber Couplers:Within the FFS-xxxxxxxxx series of visible wavelength fiber couplers, versions optimized for any wavelength within the range of 450 to 700 nm may be selected. These couplers are designed for applications in display systems, sensors and biomedical equipment. Near Infrared SM Fiber Couplers:G&H’s FFS-xxxxxxxxx series of near infrared couplers splits light at any selected wavelength from 700 to 1199 nm. These couplers are designed for applications in fiber laser, sensor and avionics applications. Ultra-low Ratio Tap SM Fiber Couplers:G&H’s FFS-xxxxxxAxx series of ultra-low ratio tap couplers splits a very small amount of light from a signal path to a tap port. Suitable for very high optical power, its main application is in the monitoring of optical sources such as fiber lasers. Low tap ratios such as 0.1%, 0.01% or 0.001% enable the monitoring photodetector to operate without damage or saturation. Gooch & Housego proprietary manufacturing technology provides ultra-low loss in the signal path, thereby maximizing optical power handling. Consistently high return loss (>55 dB) reduces the amount of optical power reflected back along the input fiber. This helps the fiber laser operate in a stable manner. Standard ultra-low ratio parts are available for wavelengths from 700 to 1599 nm. For other wavelengths, coupling ratios or customized fiber types please contact AMS Technologies. Gooch & Housego’s FFC-X series of fused single mode (SM) fiber couplers are grouped into six different sub-categories: C, L, C+L or S Band (FFC-xxxxxBxxx):The FFC-xxxxxBxxx fused couplers for C , L, C+L or S band enable the accurate splitting and monitoring of optical signals in single mode (SM) fiber. Gooch & Housego (G&H) proprietary manufacturing technology provides uniquely low excess loss and wavelength dependence, along with low polarization and temperature dependence for both signal and tap ports. Sub-miniature (FFC-xx1xABxx0):G&H’s FFC-xx1xABxx0 sub-miniature tap couplers provide low-loss splitting and monitoring in an ultra-short 32 mm length package. Designed for space constrained applications, the product is manufactured using Ø 80 μm cladding fiber. This enables low fiber bend radius within modules, without compromising mechanical integrity. Dual Window (FFC-xxxxxBxxx):Gooch & Housego’s FFC-xxxxxBxxx dual window couplers provide new levels of performance and reliability for two-window couplers. The couplers enable coupling and splitting simultaneously over the 1310 nm and 1550 nm windows. 980 nm (FFC-xxxxxNxxx):Gooch & Housego’s FFC-xxxxxNxxx fused couplers for 980 nm enable the accurate splitting and monitoring of pump power in erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. G&H proprietary manufacturing technology provides uniquely low excess loss, along with low polarization and temperature dependence for all ports. NXN Single Fuse (FFC-xxxxxNxxx):Gooch & Housego’s FFC-xxxxxNxxx single fuse couplers provide optical splitting and combining for more than two ports. A single low-loss fusion takes place to produce 1x3, 3x3, 1x4 and 4x4 couplers in a single cylindrical package. 2 µm Operation (FFC-xxxxxxxxx):G&H’s FFC-xxxxxxxxx fused couplers for 2 µm operation enable the accurate splitting and monitoring of optical signals in single mode (SM) fiber. G&H proprietary manufacturing technology provides uniquely low excess loss and wavelength dependence, along with low polarization and temperature dependence for both signal and tap ports. The all-fiber construction offers excellent reliability and high power handling characteristics. These high-performance parts are available in a wide variety of tap ratios, wavelengths, housings and connector options. Components can be readily specified in a wide variety of applications, enabling rapid design cycles and new project builds. Please contact AMS Technologies for a specification tailored to your requirements.

These patchcords offer low insertion losses, and excellent repeatability. SMJ SM patch cables can be manufactured to any specified length. An array of cable materials is available, including unjacketed fiber, 0.9 mm outside diameter (O.D) loose tube buffer, 3 mm O.D Kevlar reinforced PVC jacketing, 3 mm armored cabling, and 5 mm heavy duty armored cabling as well as 3 mm or 5 mm stainless steel armored cablings. OZ Optics offers single mode (SM) fibers for a variety of wavelengths, ranging from 320 nm to 1550 nm, as well as 2000 nm fibers. They typically have a 99% numerical aperture (NA) of about 0.13. Higher NA single mode fibers are available for certain special applications. When ordering single mode fibers please specify what wavelength it will be used for. Single mode fiber designed for 1300 nm will not be single mode at 633 nm. Single mode fiber designed for 488 nm will work at 633 nm with only slightly higher losses, but at 700 nm the losses are too high. A large assortment of fiber types is available from stock. OZ Optics also offers custom cabling services for customer-provided fibers. Please contact AMS Technologies for available fiber types. SMJ SM patch cables can be terminated with NTT-FC, SC, AT&T-ST, LC, and SMA connectors, as well as other connector types. FC connectors are highly recommended for both single mode and multi mode use. They offer high precision and repeatability. SMA connectors are used mainly for very large core fibers and high-power applications. FC connectors with Super PC and angle polished (APC) end faces are available to minimize back reflection. Typical back reflection levels are 45 dB for Super PC connectors and 60 dB for APC connectors.

Refractive Index 1.51; 550 cps Viscosity at 25°C  NBA 108 (10g syringe) is a single component, UV curing adhesive used for temporary bonding of lenses to metal polishing mounts. This blocking adhesive is formulated to be used with polishing processes that use large amounts of liquid or use heavy grinding. The adhesive cures in minutes at room temperature by exposure to long wave UV light and eliminates the heat induced strain typical of the old fashioned hot pitch blocking methods. NBA 108 is specifically formulated to provide low shrinkage and low strain to further minimize any potential strain on the lens during the blocking process. Debonding is accomplished by soaking in acetone.The adhesive cures only by exposure to UV light in the range of 350 to 380 nanometers. Recommended light sources include mercury lamps, sun lamps, fluorescent black lights and xenon lamps. Norland Products sells a variety of light sources optimized for curing our adhesive. The adhesive needs 5 joules per centimeter squared of long wave UV energy to fully cure. Cure time will depend on the amount of UV energy the light source used generates at the surface of the adhesive. Solids 100% Elongation at Failure 18% Modulus (psi) 710 Tensile (psi) 101 Hardness - Shore D 25 Shelf life of the liquid is at least 6 months at room temperature if stored in the original container away from UV light. Prolonged skin contact should be avoided and affected areas should be washed with soap and water. Avoid prolonged vapor inhalation and use in a well ventilated area.
