AFC-FC-APC-633

633 nm FC/APC Aspheric Fiber Collimator

The AFC-FC-APC-633 reshapes divergent visible red light from single-mode fibers into a pristine, parallel beam with high wavefront accuracy. Ideal for precision metrology and alignment benches.

Wavelength633 nm
Waist (2w₀)~0.64 mm
Divergence (θ)0.032°
Return Loss≥ 60 dB

Key Advantages

  • Crisp Gaussian spot profile at 633 nm with zero spherical distortion
  • Dual-surface visible AR coating with >95% throughput
  • Stainless steel mechanical construction
FC/APC Connector Note: Uses an 8° angled physical contact interface (green strain-relief boot). Connect only with APC fiber jumpers to ensure ≥60 dB return loss and avoid facet damage.

Detailed Technical Specifications

Every Zolix collimator undergoes interferometric wavefront qualification and precision angular alignment before delivery.
