single-mode fiberUnder the condition of clean end face, Hi-1060, PM980, G652D or PM1550 can withstand a theoretical power of about 200mW continuous light. Therefore, the output fiber joint of lasers with output power below 200mW can be connected to other single-mode fiber devices through a movable adapter (fiber flange).

But when the contaminated fiber optic connector end face is connected to the laser, even if the laser power is very low, the fiber optic connector end face is easily burned. Therefore, before connecting the fiber optic connector, a specialized fiber optic cleaning tool should be used to thoroughly clean the fiber optic connector end face, and a fiber optic end face detector should be used to carefully observe and confirm that there is no dust or pollution before connecting through the fiber optic flange;

When cleaning, inspecting, and connecting the fiber optic connector end face, it is necessary to ensure that the laser is in a stopped output state and must not be operated with light. After use and disconnection from other fiber optic connectors, it is necessary toConnect the fiber optic connectorcoverDust cap.

Regarding the output powerFor lasers with a power output of 200mW and above, the output tail fiber may also have an FC/APC connector. However, we recommend that this connector is only used by users for output power detection (connecting to an optical power meter), or for connecting fiber collimators with FC interfaces to collimate the laser and output it to free space for use. We do not recommend using flanges to directly connect it to other fiber or device tail fiber connectors of users, as there is a risk of damaging the fiber connector and the laser itself. If it is necessary to connect with other optical fibers, it is recommended to use a fiber fusion splicer for hot melting, and it should be noted that the types of optical fibers connected should match each other.
