Fibre
Optic Beam Delivery Systems can be used to take the laser beam from
the laser's output, and bring it out to a remote destination.
This
is a solution to those who use water cooled whitelight or Argon lasers
that can often be difficult to position in public areas. Instead of
having to mount the laser and scanning head together in a room, the
laser can be located in a safe area of the venue - whilst the beam
is picked up and fed through the fibre optic cable to the scan head.
The scan head is normally small and light enough to be handled and
mounted in the same way as any other small lighting effects. |
The
Beam Delivery System consists of FIVE basic components:
| The
Micro Positioned Fibre Launcher |
-
used to collect the beam from the laser |
| The
Input Optic Coupler |
-
this focuses the beam down to the small size required by the fibre
optic cable |
| The
Fibre Optic Cable |
-
this is used to transport the beam to it's destination |
| The
Output Optic Coupler |
-
this converts the beam from fibre, to a visible laser beam |
| The
Output Coupler Connector |
-
is used to position the final output beam |
- Fibre is available in lengths from 10m to 50m
- The fibre is finished with high quality SMA905 compatible connectors on both sides
- The systems can handle a maximum laser power of 12W
- Typical efficiency is 90% with TEM 00 input mode (30 metre / 50 micron step index)
- Maximum input beam diameter = 3mm
- Output beam diameter typically 3.5mm - dependant on output coupler
- Output beam divergence less than 1mrad - dependant on output couple
