Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
Fiber Optic Total Retroreflectors: Laboratory optical integration depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1064nm, 1310nm, 1550nm, 1800nm, 850nm, 780nm, 980nm, 650nm, 460nm wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (SM400, SM450, PM400, PM460, SM600, PM630, Hi780, PM780, SM800, PM850, PM980, Hi1060, 50/125, SM28, PM1550, SM1950, PM1950) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
Fiber Type: SM400, SM450, PM400, PM460, SM600, PM630, Hi780, PM780, SM800, PM850, PM980, Hi1060, 50/125, SM28, PM1550, SM1950, PM1950 · Fiber Cover: 900μm Tube, Bare Fiber. Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
Wavelength: 1064nm, 1310nm, 1550nm, 1800nm, 850nm, 780nm, 980nm, 650nm, 460nm · Wavelength (nm): 360–530 / 480–650 / 400–480 / 460–700 / 620–650 / 620–650 / 760–800 / 760–800 / 830–870 / 830–870 / 910–1080 / 960–1080 / 1250–1650 / 1250–1650 / 1250–1650 / 1700–2300 / 1800–2200. Check the Optical Reflectors passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
