F810APC-842 In Stock

The ThorLabs F810APC-842 is a top of the line air-spaced doublet fiber collimation package which offers incredible performance for laser beam collimation. Specifically designed to collimate laser beams propagating from the tip of an FC/APC terminated fiber, the F810APC-842 ensures diffraction-limited performance at the design wavelength, providing unparalleled precision and accuracy. The F810APC-842 has a sophisticated construction without any movable components, which gives it durability like no other. Moreover, this design also eliminates the need for realignment at regular intervals - so the user can enjoy unrivalled performance continually.

The F810APC-842 is housed in a stainless steel casing that is non-magnetic, which guarantees longevity and reliability. The F810APC-842 also boasts an EFL that is dependent on the wavelength value because of aberration that is chromatic. This means that provides optimal performance at the model wavelength, delivering precise collimation results for your specific application. Furthermore, the collimation package has an AR (antireflection) coating that results in reduced surface reflections, enhancing its performance even further. The factory alignment for each collimation package wavelength ensures the lens of the collimation package is situated away from the fiber tip by one focal length when it is positioned inside the collimator, ensuring optimal performance.

To further enhance the performance of the F810APC-842, it is recommended to use it with fiber optic single mode patch cables that are AR-coated. These fiber optic cables have an coating that is antireflective on the end of one fiber, which improves transmission and the interface return loss, resulting in superior performance. The collimation package has single mode fiber optimization and is also compatible with single mode, hybrid patch cables that are fiber optic and SMA-terminated, providing flexibility in your setup. The F810APC-842 is factory-aligned for easy integration into a system, allowing the user to collimate a laser beam from the tip of an FC or SMA-terminated fiber with ease.

With its multi-element lens design, the F810APC-842 offers enhanced performance that goes beyond standard collimation packages. Its ability to deliver diffraction-limited performance at the design wavelength, combined with its durability, compactness, and compatibility with various fiber patch cables, makes it a top choice for demanding applications where precision and reliability are paramount.
