Description
Connecting free-space optics to a fiber should be simple, reliable, and efficient. The FiberDock™ makes this step effortless, helping you get the most out of your light without adding complexity to your setup.
Designed as a versatile fiber coupler, the FiberDock™ works seamlessly with both TOPTICA laser systems and third-party sources. Its patented flexure hinge design enables the highest coupling efficiencies while maintaining excellent long-term stability, so once aligned, it stays aligned. To ensure optimal performance, each FiberDock™ can be tailored to your application. Based on your laser parameters, such as wavelength from 350 nm to 3000 nm, beam diameter, and fiber mode field diameter, we select and integrate the ideal focusing optics for you. With its wide range of variants and options, the FiberDock™ is a universal tool for linking free-space beams and fiber-based systems, making your optical setup easier, more stable, and ready to perform.
