Direct Laser Coupling

Blue Sky Research has developed a direct fiber-to-laser technology which efficiently couples laser power into a single mode fiber via a cost effective and highly repeatable process.  Direct fiber-to-laser coupling is stable in alignment, permanent and enables compact laser module designs which are practical for high-volume, price sensitive applications.  Mechanical and thermal stabilty of direct fiber-to-laser assemblies have met Military and Telecommunications standards for long term reliability and stability, i.e. Telecordia 468-CORE and MIL-STD-883.

Fiber Coupled Lasers and Systems

Fiber Coupled Lasers

The FiberTec II Series is Blue Sky's second generation of high performance, fiber-coupled laser modules. They have been optimized to meet the demanding performance requirements of applications that include; medical, life sciences and automated instrumentation. 

The FiberTec II product family incorporates highly integrated, sophisticated electronics for laser drive, protection, modulation and module control functions. This ultra compact stand alone assembly is RoHS compliant and can be ordered with a variety of collimation optics which allow easy integration into your system. A wide variety of wavelength and power options are available including the very popular 405nm, 488nm, 532nm and 635nm wavelength products.  Read More >>

 

Fiber Feedback Collimator or FFC

The FiberTec II Fiber Feedback Collimator or FFC is an option for the FiberTec II (FTEC II) Series of direct fiber coupled lasers. With this option, the FTEC II becomes the most stable and precise fiber-coupled laser availble in the marketplace.  Long-term precision & power stability are achieved via an integrated assembly of collimation optics, precision power monitors and a low noise electrical feedback control loop whch dynamically stabilizes the power levels at the collimator exit.  The FFC fedback system allows polarization maintaining fiber to be used and has <0.5% power stability at the exit end of the collimator.  The collimator may be ordered with diameters ranging from 0.8 to 3.3 mm.  The FTEC II and FFC option are both RoHS compliant.  Read More >>

 

Polarized Multi-Laser Source or PMLS

The PMLS, or Polarized Multi-Laser Source is the first laser source using all fiber technology for combining multiple lasers and simultaneously maintaining polarization.  Designed for Life Science Instrumenation where precision, stability and reliability are of critical importance; the PMLS provides a stable laser-based illumination source which never needs alignment. Laser wavelengths available include; Violet, Blue, Green, Red, and IR (405nm to 980m).

Unique to the industry - PMLS all passive fiber optic design maintains polarization, is thermally and mechanically stable, and is ultra compact, with a footprint of 80mm x 110mm (2 laser channel system). The PMLS Series of Multi-channel lasers are RoHS Compliant.    Read More >>
