Adjustment of focusing in SMA fiber
The AvaLight is factory adjusted to optimally focus the output into a 200µm fiber. If lower optical
power is recommended or a different fiber (bundle) diameter is used, the optical power can be
adjusted.
9. Connect your fiber optic spectrometer or your optical power meter to a fiber to the Fiber input
10. Loosen blocking-screw with delivered Allen key (1,3mm).
11. By shifting the SMA socket you can optimize your optical power.
12. Secure position by tightening the blocking screw .
Application note
Correct for long term system drift with the FOS-2-INLINE-UV/VIS and AvaSoft 7 (see AvaSoft 7
manual)
