picoFLEX Fiber Delivery System

picoFLEX Compact Fiber Delivery System

The picoFLEX™ is a robust and very compact laser beam delivery system that is customizable for precision measurement applications. Designed around pre-focused and integrated optical assemblies, the fiber is automatically mode-matched to your laser parameters to achieve transmission efficiencies greater than 60%.

The picoFLEX fiber delivery systems can be customized for exacting OEM specifications. Outputs can be configured to produce pure Gaussian profiles with extremely low wavefront error (M² ≤ 1.1), as well as engineered spatial profiles and shapes. In the same way, the kineMATIX manipulator mount and fiber output mechanics can be customized to better suit the application.

We work with you to optimize the whole optical system including lasers, light emitting diodes, photo detectors, fibers and integrated beam shaping optics, plus the associated electrical and software control interfaces. For OEMs, we offer this miniaturization custom design, research and development service as part of each development project. All designs are fully tested to the agreed specifications to ensure your satisfaction. As a result of this customization service, some of our custom fiber coupled laser systems are half the size of their equivalent standard part and yet maintain all the performance.

The picoFLEX single-mode fiber enables the user to decouple the laser beam astigmatism and dynamic beam pointing instability from the measurement application. It provides integrated spatial filtering for excellent beam quality. The 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 kinematic design of the kineMATIX® coupler enables easy alignment and true ‘Plug & Play’ benefits for single mode and polarization-maintaining fiber designs. Submicron 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.
