OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES

ENHANCED SWIR

N/A

* up to 2500 nm

FIBEROPTIC INPUT/OUTPUT 

An X-Y-Z translation adjustment allows coupling optimization. The FC APC is available with the following fibers:
- 9/125 μm (single mode)
- 50/125 μm (multimode)
- 105/125 μm (multimode)

HARMONIC FILTER 

Blocks the harmonics coming from the region
400-500 nm

Blocks the harmonics coming from the region
500-1000 nm and/or 1000-1250 nm

Filter chosen according to spectral range

BACKGROUND SUPPRESSOR 

Removes unwanted reflections of light coming from the inside of the LLTF

ALIGNMENT KIT (FOR FREE SPACE) 

In free-space (input/output) configuration, the alignment kit allows the user to rapidly find the correct alignment
