Aligning the Fiber Coupler
This section outlines the basic steps of Kineflex ™ fiber coupler alignment. For more detailed discussion of
optical alignment techniques see Section 10 : Principle of laser beam alignment. In the case of free beam C-
FLEX laser combiners proceed directly to section 3.8 : Aligning the Combiner Optical Path. If using another type
of fiber coupler, similar principles may apply, but the adjustment instructions may differ. See the manufacturer ’ s
instructions.
WARNING – Keep the C-FLEX shutter closed when placing or removing components or
equipment from the beam path.
1. Remove the fiber from the fiber coupler lens tube to allow the beam to exit the C-FLEX unobstructed.
2. Place an appropriate optical power meter at the exit of the fiber coupler to measure the free beam
power of each laser out of the C-FLEX.
3. Measure the free beam laser power for each laser line, one at a time. Be sure to set the measurement
wavelength when changing from laser to laser. Make a note of this power level for reference. The power
into the fiber is required to calculate the coupling efficiency out of the fiber.
4. Place the alignment tool (see image above) into the fiber coupler with the pin hole closest to the
aperture.
