HIGH-POWER & HIGH-PRECISION COLLIMATOR
Description
Since 2007, ALPhANOV has built a solid expertise in modelling, designing and prototyping of innovative fiber laser sources and components.
Our PowerPAC connector offers a highly precise connector for single-mode hollow-core fibers (*). It includes a collimator, which can withstand more than 100 Watts of injected power. It is particularly suitable for beam delivery based on hollow-core fibers, for instance in the femtosecond regime.
Features:
100W-class in femtosecond regime
Plug-and-play (high repeatability)
Passive cooling (active cooling on-demand)
Technical specifaction
