PAN5710IR3 In Stock

The PAN5710IR3 from ThorLabs is a high-quality PAX external sensor head that can be used with the corresponding PAX5710 system to perform free-space beams and fiber-coupled measurements. These measurements can be easily integrated into optical setups, making this sensor head an essential component of a complete polarization analyzing system. The system consists of a TXP mainframe, a PAX5710 card, and the external sensor head. Additionally, the PAN5710IR3 can be easily connected to the PAX card with the use of a PAX cable.

One feature of the PAN5710IR3 is its compatibility with a Ø11 mm fiber collimator. The collimator is held securely in place with a set screw located on the side of the external head, which can be tightened with a 0.05 hex. The sensor head utilizes a removable collimation package that is appropriate for the wavelength range, for the use of a fiber connector input. During stress application during data acquisition of the system, the polarization at the exit of the fiber is recorded with the polarimeter sensor of the PAN5710IR3. The sensor head also has a wavelength range of 1300 nm - 1700 nm, and it is interchangeable with other external heads for different wavelength ranges without the need to purchase a new PAX system.

To connect the PAN5710IR3 to a PAX system, it is required to connect to a readout card. The readout card can be used for all wavelength ranges, making it simple to change the sensor head when needed. If a different wavelength range is desired, the corresponding sensor head should be connected to the current readout card. If two or more sensor heads are to be used simultaneously, an equal amount of readout cards is required. The mainframe can hold up to four readout cards, providing ample opportunity for multiple sensors to be utilized simultaneously.

These features make it easy to incorporate into any optical setup, providing precise measurements in a compact and convenient package. If you're looking for an interchangeable sensor to use in tandem with a high-quality polarization analyzing system, the PAN5710IR3 is an excellent choice.
