F810APC-2000 In Stock

The F810APC-2000 by ThorLabs is a highly advanced fiber collimation package that offers exceptional performance in collimating laser beams. This package is pre-aligned to ensure that laser beams propagating from the tip of an FC/APC terminated fiber are collimated with diffraction-limited precision at the design wavelength. One of the standout features of the F810APC-2000 is its compact design that is not susceptible to misalignment as it does not have any moveable parts. This makes it highly reliable, as it requires minimal maintenance and can be used with ease by professionals across a wide range of industries.

The doublet lens in the F810APC-2000 has an effective focal length (EFL) that is wavelength-dependent due to chromatic aberration. As a result, this collimation package is optimized for use at the design wavelength and will only perform optimally at that specific wavelength. In order to ensure optimal performance, the doublet lens is fine-tuned for each design wavelength to ensure that when inserted into the F810APC-2000, it is precisely positioned so that it is a focal length apart from the tip of the fiber. Additionally, the FC/APC receptacles are situated at an angle that allows light exiting the fiber to enter the collimator to the focal plane perpendicularly, resulting in highly accurate and precise collimation.

The F810APC-2000 can be paired with a single mode fiber optic patch cable that has an antireflection coating on one end. This provides better transmission and return loss than usual, resulting in improved performance at the fiber-to-free-space interface. It is optimized for fibers that are single mode and compatible with hybrid SMA-terminated single mode fiber optic patch cables. The F810APC-2000 is housed in non-magnetic stainless steel, and features a N-SF6 lens, making it highly durable and long-lasting.
