Laser Assembly with Mode Scrambler

Fiberguide Industries’ new mode scrambler option for its line of high power laser delivery assemblies protects the fibre optic conduit by conducting heat away from the fibre end. Incorporated into the proximal end of the laser assembly, the mode scrambler allows the laser beam a homogeneous exit. The assembly option employs a custom designed high-power SMA connector, which utilises air gap technology to eliminate all energy absorbing materials at the fibre end. The cantilevered fibre end can accept very high power levels that would normally destroy traditional fibre termination. A uniquely designed heat sink is thermally and mechanically connected to the assembly to effectively conduct generated heat away from fibre. The mode scrambler option is offered on Fiberguide’s standard silica and hard clad fibres, in standard core diameters from 200 to 1500 um with numerical apertures ranging from 0.12, 0.22 (standard), 0.26 and 0.39 (standard). For high power levels, a high conductivity copper ferrule is used for the nose of the connector allowing for greater heat dissipation. All systems are designed around customers’ exacting requirements and specifications. Fiberguide Industries, Inc., manufactures a comprehensive line of standard and custom high optical transmission fibres and ultra precision arrays. The company is a subsidiary of the global technology group Halma plc, which also includes photonics specialists Ocean Optics, a leader in spectroscopy and optical thin films, and Labsphere, a recognised expert in the light metrology field.
