Fiber Collimators Series 60FC-T
This document provides assistance in installing the fiber collimators series 60FC-T. It describes how a fiber
cable is attached and how the collimation setting is adjusted.
Before You Start
The fiber collimator is shipped with a protection cap for the fiber receptacle and with a front cap.
Notice:
There is a two-part protection cap on the receptacle. Please perform the following steps in order to remove
this cap:

Figure 1:
First, remove the threaded cap from
the fiber receptacle of the fiber
collimator.
Figure 2:
Then, slightly loosen the small pin
screw. Use the screwdriver 9D-12.
Make sure to not loosen it too far, as it
is small and easily lost.
Figure 3:
Now, pull out the plug.

- Page 2 Fiber Collimators Series 60FC-T Now, make sure that the connector of the fiber you want to attach matches the receptacle type of the fiber collimator: • Use fibers with FC-APC (8°-polish) connectors for fiber collimators with an inclined coupling axis (60FC-T-4).
- Page 3 Fiber Collimators Series 60FC-T Figure 6: Then, orient the connector key in a way that it is pressed gently onto the right-hand side of the receptacle notch. Figure 7: Gently screw on the connector cap nut onto the receptacle until it is finger-tight.
- Page 4 Fiber Collimators Series 60FC-T Adjusting the Collimation Setting Collimation adjustment (adjustment of the collimating lens in z-direction) is a demanding task and should be performed preferably using a collimating telescope. Notice: The fiber collimator is shipped pre-adjusted for the given wavelength and, often, it is not necessary for the customer to readjust the lens position.
- Page 5 Fiber Collimators Series 60FC-T Notice: The number of clamp screws (two or four) depends on the individual type of fiber collimator. For the exact position of these clamp screws please refer to the technical drawing of the individual fiber collimator, respectively. Figure 10: Insert the eccentric key type 55EX-5 into the large hole.
- Page 6 Fiber Collimators Series 60FC-T Tilt Adjustment The fiber collimators of series 60FC-T have an integrated tilt alignment mechanism. With this mechanism you can adjust the optical axis to the mechanical axis of the fiber collimator. Notice: This mechanism is not suitable for adjusting the beam pointing of the fiber collimator in your setup.
- Page 7 Fiber Collimators Series 60FC-T The alignment of the optical axis is best when the position of the spot on the screen does not alter. • A second option can be used only when the fiber collimator has a clear aperture that is small with respect to the fiber NA.
- Page 8 Fiber Collimators Series 60FC-T Adjustment Tools For assembling and adjusting the fiber collimators series 60FC-T you need the following tools: Figure 16: Screw driver type 9D-12, hex key 50HD-15, and eccentric key type 55EX-5.
