Multimode Fiber Receiver/Collector
Features
• Designed for multimode fibers
• Two wavelength regions cover 400nm to 1550nm
• 10mm aperture size
• Front aperture can accept 1/2 inch optics
• Adjustable focus
• Standard SMA receptacle
• Also works very well as an output collimator
The FR10 Fiber Receiver was designed specifically to collect fairly collimated light and inject it into a 100mm or larger core fiber with greater than 90% efficiency.
This fiber receiver works much better than using a standard fiber collimator backwards. The results are a larger signal. Since most fiber collimators in the market are fixed at one wavelength using a simple optic, they end up doing a terrible job at collecting light from multiple wavelengths and injecting it into a fiber.
The FR10 Fiber Receiver is housed in stainless steel for ruggedness with an SMA receptacle. Focus is preset at the factory for collimated light. For the times when light is not as collimated as one would like, the focus can be adjusted by the user for optimal signal strength.
A nice feature is the internal threads at the aperture so that 1/2 inch optics, such as filters can be mounted. An additional optic cell can be used for convenience of mounting such optics and screwing onto the receiver.
Accessories available are a ring adapter for mounting to common optical mounts and optical fiber assemblies.
Applications include gathering light for sensors, detectors, and spectrometers.
The Fiber Receiver also works well as a fiber collimator for broadband light.
