LC-1 Series Fiber-Optic Input Coupler

Electro-optics

The LC-1 Input Coupler is a convenient way to launch a free-space CW laser beam into an optical fi ber. It includes focusing and alignment optics, a 1”-diameter mounting disk, and a 9 μm core-diameter fi ber that is terminated with an FC/UPC or FC/APC connector.

A well-collimated laser beam enters the aperture in thecenter of the mounting disk and is focused into the fi ber.Built-in optics provide two slightly off-axis back refl ectionsto facilitate alignment using a standard two-axis angularoptical mount.

What is the LC-1 Fiber-Optic Input Coupler and what fiber type does it use?

The LC-1 is a compact fiber-optic input coupler for CW lasers that includes focusing and alignment optics, a 1-inch mounting disk, and a 9 um core single-mode fiber terminated with an FC/UPC or FC/APC connector.

How does the LC-1 facilitate beam alignment?

The LC-1 provides two slightly off-axis back reflections from built-in optics, enabling straightforward alignment using a standard two-axis angular optical mount.

What types of lasers is the LC-1 designed for?

The LC-1 is designed for well-collimated CW (continuous wave) laser beams, and is not recommended for pulsed lasers - for pulsed applications, the BC-1 D version with multi-mode fiber is preferred.
