Connections for Optical Fibers

Optical fibers are an integral compo­nent in most all Ocean Insights’ miniature fiber optic spectrometer system. The fibers provide the optical pathways which allow inputs to the spectrometers. In many cases fiber connections are needed; that’s where fittings come in.

Most of the fiber optic patch cords (fiber optic cable assemblies) for scien­tific work utilize the SMA 905 connection standard. Those SMA 905 and SMA 906 precision fiber optic connectors are with stainless alloy or stainless steel ferrules to provide low loss connections.

Gershun-Tube-Kit

The Gershun Tube Kit is an optical assembly that can be used to control the Field-Of-View coming into a spectrometer. A standard fiber is approximately 25 degrees. By attaching the Gershun Tube to your spectrometer or fiber, you can modify the Field-Of-View with any of the aperture disks by inserting one of the disks into the barrel of the Gershun Tube. The apertue disk is secured by screwing in the retaining ring to the barrel. The Gershun tube can be connected directly to a spectrometer or to a SMA 905-terminated optical fiber to control the Field-Of-View of the setup. Each assembly comprises a conical base and middle and outer barrels that are threaded together. User-interchangeable apertures can be quickly switched to adjust the Field-Of-View at different increments from 1°-28°. The Gershun-Tube-Kit comes with aperture disks for 1°, 3°, 8°, 10° and 14° Field-Of-View.

C-Mount

This adapter allows an SMA-905 terminated optical fiber to be connected seamlessly to the C-mount port of a microscope or telescope so that light can be routed to a spectrometer for spectral analysis. The lens mount is for 1″ optic with usable depth of 0.5. The barrel can be adjusted for focusing.

21-01 SMA-905 Bulkhead Bushing

The 21-01 bulkhead bushing is perfect for mounting devices to optical fibers.

21-02 SMA-905 Bushing

These in-line adapters are used to connect two SMA 905-terminated optical fibers into either end of the bushing. Useful for coupling patch cords to fiber optic probes and other devices, or for any multiple-fiber application. This item includes 2 nuts and washers for through-mounting and is compatible with standard SMA 905-terminated optical fibers

Fiber Termination Kits

SMA-905 Termination Kit

This Fiber Termination Kit give you the tools you need to build and repair fiber assemblies. It includes all the tools you need to terminate, polish and inspect an optical fiber assembly, as well as a variety of SMA 905 connectors.

You can add individual terminations for fibers of different core diameters, as well as termination kits in standard hex-nut and premium knurled ferrule versions. This kit is for working with fiber core diameters 150 µm-to-1300 µm.

Hex-Nut SMA Connectors

We offer a variety of additonal SMA Connectors for 50-, 100-, 200-, 300-, 400- and 600-micron fibers.

Premium-Knurled SMA Connectors

Featuring a premium knurled ferrule, these SMA connectors are available for 100-, 200-, 300-, 400-, 600- and 1,000-micron fibers.

Vacuum Feedthrough Coupling

The Ocean Insights VFTs are fit­tings which provide light channels, via appropriate fiber optics, into vacuum chambers and other am­bient isolated chambers. The VFTs high- and low-pressure sides are each terminated with SMA 905 connectors that couple easily to optical fiber lines. The VFTs are high vacuum compatible, tested and certified to 10-10 Torr and operation to 350°C.

VFTs can be screwed into an external 3/8" - 24 thread hole in a chamber or can be bolted into a smooth hole with the provided nut and washer. Connecting to a VTF simply entails attaching an optical fiber to the VFT which has a stan­dard SMA termination coupling.

For use inside a chamber, aluminum-jacketed or armored-cable optical fiber as­semblies are recommened.

Vacuum Feed Throughs are available in optical fiber diameters of 200, 400, 600 and 1000 µm diameter and in UV/VIS and/or VIS/NIR fibers. Each VFT includes two 21-02 SMA Splice Bushings.

Visible-NIR & UV-Visible Fibers for Vacuum Feedthroughs

Optical fibers that are designed for use with vacuum feedthroughs (VFTs) are available. These fibers allow you to route the fiber directly into a vacuum chamber. All VFTs have in-vacuum and in-air side male SMA 905 connectors for coupling to optical fibers. Available with a core diameter of 200-, 400- or 600-microns with a length of 1 meter, or with a core diameter of 400-microns with a length of half a meter. The UV-Visible fibers transmit wavelengths from 200-1100 nm, and the Visible-NIR fibers transmit wavelengths from 400-2100 nm.
