The kineFLEX-DUO™ is a robust all fiber beam combiner and laser beam delivery system for two laser sources at visible wavelengths. Designed around the kineFLEX™ laser to fiber coupler design is a fused fiber singlemode coupler, with pre-focused and integrated optical assemblies. The fiber is automatically mode matched to your laser parameters to achieve end to end efficiencies greater than 60%.

Features

• Efficient and simple laser beam combination
• Highly stable to thermal effects with zero misalignment
• Stable ruggedized platform for industrial applications
• Blue/Green, Green/Red and Blue/Red versions
• Custom OEM versions available

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.
