SuperK CONNECT
SuperK CONNECT
The CONNECT is a single mode fiber coupling device which can terminate to a
collimator or either FC /PC or FC/APC connectors. As a fiber deliver system,
CONNECT can be used with the laser or its accessories. It combines high
coupling efficiency with power handling up to 500 mW over a spectrum from 400
to 2000 nm. It can be disconnected and reconnected to a photonic system
without needing to realign the coupling. The specific CONNECT model used is
dependent on the emission characteristics of the application. Table 24 lists the
models available and their specifications.
A general view of the CONNECT accessory showing the location of the collimator
input is shown in Figure 70.
