(P)FPD Fiber to Photodiode Couplers

Product information "(P)FPD Fiber to Photodiode Couplers"

Pigtail/Receptacle Versions; Fiber Type SM, MM or PM; Tilt Adjustment Feature for Many Couplers; Pigtail Versions Optional with Pre-configured Connectors

(P)FPD fiber to photodiode couplers are available for virtually any photodiode on the market, using either SM, MM or PM fiber. The coupler design is both rugged and flexible, allowing customers to do their own alignment if desired. For OEM applications, miniature pigtail style fiber to photodiode couplers are available that do not use the tilt adjustment technique. These feature both a smaller size and lower cost.Our fiber to photodiode couplers come in three basic designs. The most common design consists of two baseplates (one holding the photodiode and the other one containing the focusing optics and the connector for the input fiber), separated by a resilient O-ring. OZ Optics’ patented tilt adjustment technique is used to achieve the maximum coupling efficiency (typical >80% for SM fibers, depending on fiber and photodiode characteristics) even for very small spot sizes of <10 µm.

For the second design, the fiber, lens and photodiode are glued into a single assembly without the tilt adjustment technique. The third and final design uses no lens at all. The fiber is simply butted against the photodiode. Both of these designs are intended for OEM applications. For optimum coupling efficiency, stability, and minimum backreflection, we recommend using pigtail style fiber to photodiode couplers, available with a wide variety of fiber types and cable sizes, also preterminated with different types of connectors. Receptacle style versions are typically only available for multimode applications, or large active area photodiodes.

HULD Laser Diode to Fiber Couplers
Receptacle Style; 375 to 2000 nm; Wavelength Accuracy ±5 to ±30 nm; Coupling Efficiency 10% to 75%; Fiber Type SM, MM or PM OZ Optics’ HULD series of receptacle style laser diode to fiber couplers is offering optimum coupling in a small, rugged package. The couplers may be purchased prealigned, with the diode already in place, or as a kit that can be assembled by the customer using their own diode. The complete assembly procedure is quite straightforward. An assembly and operating instruction video on a USB drive, showing the alignment process, is available. In addition, a complete alignment kit is available, which includes the laser diode collimation wrench, multimode fiber assembly, centering lens, and video instructions. Diode source couplers are available for a variety of diode case sizes, and for diode wavelengths from 375 nm to greater than 2000 nm. These source couplers work with MM, SM and PM fiber. HULD connector receptacle style couplers have a female receptacle, such as NTT-FC, or AT&T-ST, etc. at the output end. This allows the user to connect any optical fiber with a matching male connector to the diode. HULD laser diode to fiber couplers are available in different diameters from 0.79 inch to 1.3 inch. These tilt adjustable source couplers can be used over a temperature range of -25 °C to +60 °C and have been vibration tested. Higher temperature versions are available on request OZ Optics also offers special, low cost, miniature receptacle style laser diode to fiber couplers for OEM applications. These packages use just a single lens to couple light from the laser diode into the fiber. They do not use OZ Optics tilt adjustment technique. This package features a compact, rugged housing, at a lower cost. A variety of options like a built-in isolator, a blocking screw to attenuate the output beam as well as polarizers or polarization rotators in the middle are also available. Key Features: 375nm to 2000nm Variety of Standard Packaging Options SM, MM or PM fiber Rugged Design Custom Design for Diodes High-power Version Applications: Fiber Optic Communications; Optical Alignment Systems; Process Control; Optical Sensors; Medical Apparatus; Imaging Systems ; Test and Measurement Systems
