AFC-FC-APC-405
405 nm FC/APC Aspheric Fiber Collimator
The AFC-FC-APC-405 delivers tight diffraction-limited collimation for 405 nm laser diodes. The monolithic glass optic contains no organic cement, ensuring zero solarization or discoloration under continuous UV/blue laser irradiation.
Key Advantages
- No cement in optical path — immune to UV solarization
- Diffraction-limited wavefront for tight focus and high resolution
- Dual-surface UV/blue AR coating (>95% transmission)
