Imaging
-
Welcome to Thorlabs; below you will find links to our imaging systems and components. The products below are not only designed specifically for imaging applications, but they can be easily integrated into our entire line of photonics products. This makes it easy to modify or build custom imaging systems. Thorlabs’ Selection of Imaging Systems consists of our Laser Scanning Microscopy systems and OCT Imaging Systems.

Product
Ultrafast Photodetector with Current Monitor, 1250 - 1650 nm, DC - 20 GHz, FC/PC
DXM20AF
-
The DXM20AF Ultrafast Detector is a DC - 20 GHz, fiber-coupled, InGaAs-based photodetector designed for applications in the 1250 nm - 1650 nm wavelength range. The core element of the detector is the fiber-coupled, hermetically sealed, microwave detector module. For convenience and simplicity of use, the module is mounted inside a rugged housing that includes a rechargeable battery, current monitor circuitry, and a digital display of the DC photocurrent.

Premium Microwave Cables And Adapters
-
Thorlabs' Microwave Cables and Adapter Cables are flexible, high-performance, coaxial cable assemblies designed for use out to 50 GHz, depending on connector type (see the image to the right). The design gives these cables flexibility while maintaining optimal performance. They exhibit low VSWRs (Voltage Standing Wave Ratios) over the usable frequency range, as well as low insertion losses (see the Specs tab). These cables are each tested to ensure performance.

Two-wavelength SM WDMs
-
Wavelength Division Multiplexers (WDMs) are used to combine or split two different single mode signals with low insertion loss. Thorlabs' WDMs featured on this page are manufactured using Fused Biconic Taper (FBT) technology and are designed for common NIR and telecom wavelengths (see the table to the right for options). They are an ideal solution for combining pump and signal wavelengths in fiber lasers and amplifiers or for combining telecom signals. Our WDMs have undergone extensive testing to ensure they meet or surpass Telcordia requirements; please see the Reliability Testing tab for details.

Galvo Mirror Systems
-
Thorlabs offers Galvo Mirror Systems for both small (<5 mm) and large (<10 mm) beam diameters. Choose from single- or dual-axis galvo motor options as well as your choice of metallic silver, metallic gold, a dual band dielectric coating for 532/1064 nm, or a broadband dielectric coating for 400 - 750 nm.

Optomechanics
-
Welcome to Thorlabs; below you will find links to our extensive Optomechanical product line, a subset of our entire line of photonics products. Optomechanics is a broad category that includes optical tables and breadboards, optical mounts and construction components, mechanical devices with integrated electronics, kits that make it easy to buy a popular set of components or a set of components that can be assembled to perform a specific function, and general laboratory supplies and tools. Because of the large selection, Optomechanics does not include translation and rotation stages and their controllers; instead those products have their own category.

Fiber End Face Interferometer
-
Thorlabs' GL16 End Face Interferometer measures and images the end face geometry of single- and multi-fiber connectors. A non-contact technique called scanning white-light interferometry (SWLI) provides high accuracy, repeatability, and reliability for fiber connector testing, particularly for pass/fail testing using IEC or Telcordia requirements. The system can be controlled locally through the touchscreen display or remotely through a browser-based application (see Software tab for details), allowing it to be easily integrated on the production floor.

Optical Isolators
-
Thorlabs manufactures a wide selection of narrowband and broadband free-space optical isolators (Faraday isolators) that operate in spectral ranges from 365 nm to 9.80 µm, including high-power options, as well as fiber isolators designed for wavelength ranges from 650 to 2010 nm for polarization-independent versions and 770 nm to 2010 nm for polarization-dependent versions. For customers whose needs are not met by our stock selection, we offer a custom isolator service that can combine the best features across our entire isolator family. The Optical Isolator Selection Guide displays wavelength ranges and isolator types for all stocked isolators.

Motion Control
-
Welcome to Thorlabs; below you will find links to our selection of Motion Control products, a subset of our entire line of photonics products. Thorlabs’ motion control products are separated into manual and motorized linear and rotation stages, multiaxis platforms, actuators, and controllers. The manual and motorized stages can frequently be configured into 1-, 2-, or 3-axis solutions. Since many of the stages are available in either manual or motorized versions, creating a custom system is easy. For nanopositioning applications like waveguide and fiber coupling, our line of multiaxis flexure stages are ideal. Both the motorized stages and the multiaxis platforms are supported by a complete line of controllers for the various motors and piezoelectric actuators. In addition, we support custom and OEM motion control applications with an extensive line of manual, motorized, and piezo actuators as well as threaded adjustment screws.

2-Wavelength, Polarization-Maintaining WDMs
-
Thorlabs' Fused Polarization Maintaining (PM) Wavelength Division Multiplexers (WDMs) combine two wavelengths of light in PM fiber while maintaining the polarization of the incident light. These WDMs are reversible; they can also be used to split two discrete wavelengths entering the common port into two separate output ports. They are not designed to split the output from a broadband source. PM WDMs are often used for pump / signal applications that incorporate erbium-doped or ytterbium-doped fiber amplifiers. They can be readily customized for a wide variety of applications, enabling rapid design cycles and new project builds. For custom requests, please contact Tech Support.
