Thorlabs offers several component modules that can be used to mount numerous precision optical components. These modules can then be easily integrated into a FiberBench system, and position optics at a consistent beam height of 0.56" (14.2 mm). In each case, the module is designed with two steel dowel pins on its underside that fit into the receiving holes on the FiberBench. Once inserted, the design of the mount ensures that the optic will be at the appropriate height for use within the fiber-optic system.

The flexure base has two basic pin mounting orientations: vertical and horizontal. Although the vertical pin configuration is the most common, both the vertical and horizontal pins are compatible with our FiberBenches. Please be careful about sending the beam to an available port. A vertical pin configuration is defined as having the pins mounted parallel to the rotation adjustment screw. In the horizontal configuration, the pins will be mounted perpendicular to the rotation adjustment screw.

The flexture bases are also seperated by handedness: right or left. The right or left designation will determine the orientation of the cube, plate, or mirror with respect to the rotation adjustment screw and refers to how the beam will be turned. See the sketches and diagrams below for help in selecting a component.

EO Modulator Mount
  • Adapter Plate Aligns an EO Modulator in the Beam Path
  • 4 Tapped Holes for Mounting the Modulator (Screws Included)
  • Alignment Pins for Mounting to any FiberBench Over 70 mm Long

The FT-EOMA is a mounting bracket used to mount an Electro-Optic (EO) Modulator onto a FiberBench. The length of the bench needs to be at least 70 mm in the direction you wish to mount the modulator. Incorporation of the optional EO Modulator optic mount and polarizer (EO-GTH5M) will require a longer FiberBench. The Linear Polarizer modules are well suited for use with an EO Modulator in a FiberBench System. The application picture to the right shows an EO Modulator with an FT-38X100 Multi-Axis FiberBench, one PCB Linear Polarizer, and two PAF FiberPorts.
