F-926 In Stock

The F-926 by Newport is a highly efficient GRIN Lens Fiber Coupler designed to facilitate the alignment of fibers with GRIN lenses in compact environments. Its primary function is to enable optimal output collimation and laser-fiber coupling. The F-926 features a rotating chuck that allows for the alignment of a base polarization-preserving fiber with the incident laser polarization. To ensure precise fiber positioning, the coupler utilizes 100-pitch X-Y adjustment screws that are ultra-fine, enabling optimal coupling efficiency. Furthermore, axial Z motion is achieved without rotating the fiber, thanks to a knurled knob equipped with a precision 80 TPI thread.

The F-926 offers low-loss coupling between lasers and fibers or between two fibers. For efficient fiber-to-fiber coupling, it allows the use of two different couplers in conjunction. This flexibility makes it convenient for fiber optic equipment integration into a prototype optical system or breadboard. Mounting the F-926 to a compatible table or breadboard is effortless, requiring only a single bolt. In conjunction with this coupler, the FPH-S and FPH-S-2.5 slotted fiber chucks are commonly employed, particularly with fibers ranging from 100 to 200 microns in diameter. These chucks are preferred due to their ease of insertion and their capacity to hold fibers securely without inducing stress.
