  •            

    Elliot Gold™ series polarisation maintaining (PM) fiber launch system comprising: 3-axis high precision flexure stage with high precision fiber rotator, objective lens mount with RMS thread, and large fixed bracket. Suitable for launching free space light beams into PM fibre. PM fibre requires that the roll axis be adjusted to ensure correct alignment of the laser polarization and fiber polarization axes.

    All accessories are compatible with the Elliot Gold™ series flexure stages. The optical axis height is 18 mm above the platform surface and on the center line of the location slot. Where necessary a locating tongue forms part of the accessory. A standard clamp system is used and is supplied with the flexure stages and accessory platforms. The clamp set (MDE154) is available separately if required.
