Celebrating International Women's Day: Brilliant Minds in Photonics

By Stanislav Perevoschikov

Today, we celebrate International Women's Day by recognizing the brilliance, innovation, and courage of women who continually push the boundaries of science. The field of photonics is built upon deeply impressive contributions from female scientists. From Maria Goeppert Mayer laying the foundational work for multiphoton absorption to Donna Strickland's Nobel Prize-winning breakthroughs in laser technology, […]

Application Note: Air vs. Water: Finding the Optimal Reference for NIR Spectroscopy

By Stanislav Perevoschikov

The optimal choice of a spectral reference is important for building accurate calibration models. In our latest publication of Application Notes, art photonics explores the practical differences between using air and water as references in the quantitative analysis of liquid solutions. NIR-spectroscopy is widely used for quantitative analysis of solid and liquid samples. When measuring […]

Categories: Accessories, Fiber Optic Couplers, FlexiRay®, FlexiSpec®, Spectroscopy accessories Tag: Mid-IR

Main features:

Efficient coupling of fiber cable to MCT/ InSb detector in side window Dewar
Wide-range operation thanks to Mirror optics
Price effective Lens optic version
Pre-aligned and adjustable for maximum coupling efficiency
SMA or FC/PC adaptor for fiber (Chalcogenide and Polycrystalline) optical cable

Description

Refocusing couplers are designed for easy coupling of mid-IR fiber optical cables to MCT/ InSb detector in LN-cooled side window Dewar. Art photonics presents two versions: Lens Refocusing- and Mirror Refocusing coupler.

The simplest Lens version coupler can be standard or customized. Adjustable in 3 dimensions - X-Y for the lens and Z - for the connector position.

Advanced version of the coupler is based on pre-aligned parabolic mirrors. This version serves to eliminate chromatic aberrations and has purging option to avoid atmospheric disturbance in spectral details of the object. Adjustable in 3 dimensions - X-Y for the mirror and Z - translation of the Dewar.

Both couplers have SMA or FC/PC (on request) adaptor for fiber optical cable.

See product pages of our Chalcogenide and Polycrystalline Fiber cables for different spectral range detectors and radiation sources.
