Optical apertures Optical apertures are located on two of the side panels of the SELECT as shown
in Figure 5 and described in the following.

Optical input aperture
The Optical input aperture is a receptacle that houses the output collimator from
a SuperK laser. The laser’s output collimator is inserted into the aperture until it
clicks and locks in place. To remove the collimator, press the release button. The
collimator can be secured by tightening the lock screw.
The optical input includes an interlock switch. If a SuperK collimator is not
inserted in the input receptacle, the switch detects this and prevents emission
(refer to Figure 7).
NIR/IR output aperture
This is a free space output aperture from the NIR/IR AOTF.
VIS/NIR output aperture
This is a free space output aperture from the VIS/NIR AOTF.
Monitor optical output apertures
See “Monitor optical output apertures” on page 21.
Note: All output apertures include 4 screw holes for mounting, for example, a fi-
ber coupler with a SuperK CONNECT accessory. Mounting holes are designed
for an M3 screw.
