The MAX373D launch system with quick release fiber features our high resolution differential adjusters, which are ideal for optimizing the coupling of a free space laser into a single mode fiber, even in the visible spectrum where the mode field diameter of the fibers are as small as 3 µm. The quick-release fiber holder provides six mounting surfaces, each one designed to accept a different size fiber. The addition of a cable strain relief helps to prevent inadvertent disruption of the system, a small feature that can be a great time saver. This preconfigured system is an ideal starter system that can be quickly adapted to many uses.
The MAX373D uses three strain gauge displacement sensors to provide a voltage signal that is linearly proportional to the displacement of the piezoelectric element. Using this signal, it is possible to compensate for hysteresis, creep, or thermal drift that is inherent to all piezoelectric elements. Additionally, the use of the displacement sensor in combination with our NanoTrak™ Auto-Alignment System allows you to optimize precisely the coupling efficiency of an optical system. Then once aligned, the displacement sensors can be used to stabilize the position of the system while subsequent operations are performed.
