The iFLEX-Adder™ is fiber coupled beam combiner allowing the wavelength range of your existing laser system or bench to be easily extended. The system is fully compatible with most visible lasers including the established Qioptiq range of fibers and fiber-coupled lasers. Up to 5 individual lasers in the range 400 to 640nm can be combined and coupled into a singlemode, polarisation maintaining fiber delivery system, which can then be integrated directly into your instrument or experiment.

Features

• Compatible with wavelengths at 405, 445, 488, 515, 532, 561 and 640nm
• Dual or multiple channels enabling upgrade routes for future upgrading.
• True ‘Plug & Play’ capable ensuring true versatility of your laser suite
• Truly co-linear beams from kineFLEX™ output
• Compatible with kineFLEX and kineFLEX-HPV™ models
• Low dynamic pointing error

Optomechanical stability
Our laser beam delivery systems need only to be aligned only once and then are stable for multiple remove and insert operations. Kinematic design also means our fiber systems are stable to optomechanical thermal effects and exhibit no hysteresis.

Beam quality
Singlemode fiber enables you to decouple laser beam astigmatism and dynamic beam pointing instability from the measurement application. Designed around pre-focused and integrated optical assemblies, Qioptiq fiber systems are automatically mode matched to your laser parameters to maximise transmission efficiencies.

Wavelength multiplexers
Qioptiq designs and manufactures “black box” type laser solutions which incorporate multiple sources and their controllers, beam combiner optics, modulation and control devices and beam delivery via fiber optic.

Vacuum solutions
We design and manufacture single mode fiber beam delivery systems for use in an ultra-high vacuum environment, in fields such as metrology and imaging. To ensure that your solution is totally reliable in the harshest environments, we carry out extensive tests.

Precision fiber interconnects
Visible singlemode fiber to fiber interconnects can often be problematic due to the inappropriate use of standard telecoms connectors. The smaller fiber core sizes require more highly toleranced connector features
and stricter manufacturing process controls to ensure the highest performance and reliability.

Beam conditioning
Singlemode fiber provides the ideal spatial filter to decouple spatial mode noise from the application and produce a true ‘Gaussian’ beam profile. More applications require higher throughputs and with a stable and predictable source we can provide a selection of laser beam conditioning appropriate to the application directly from the end of the fiber.
