  • Fiber Optomechanics

    Thorlabs, Inc.

    The versatile FiberBench product line includes Single and Multi-Axis FiberBenches as well as a wide variety of compatible components ranging from beamsplitter modules to wave plate units. FiberBenches form the foundation of a nearly infinite array of miniature fiber optic systems that customers have been building for the last decade. When used with the FiberPort Collimators/Couplers, a complete optical circuit can be constructed. The Fiber Launch Platforms are ideal for coupling a free space laser into a single mode, multimode, or polarization-maintaining fiber. Other accessories include fiber mounts, fixed and kinematic collimator adapters, and L-bracket mating sleeves.

  • Imaging

    Thorlabs, Inc.

    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. Our Laser Scanning Microscopy offering includes multiphoton and confocal fluorescence microscopy systems. Thorlabs is a leader in the development of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Imaging Systems. We offer complete systems as well as a selection of components that are ideal for constructing a custom OCT system. Our series of Laser-Scanning Cytometry instruments are non-confocal systems that utilize laser-spot scanning illumination. The detection system, which combines PMTs for fluorescence detection and photodiodes for absorbance and scatter detection, offers excellent quantitative cytometric performance and imaging capabilities. Our Burleigh® line or microscope platforms, micromanipulators, and accessories provide leading edge stability and control for electrophysiology research, and our line of Optogenetics equipment includes fiber optic components and light sources for in vivo optical stimulation for neuroscience research.

  • Beam Characterization

    Thorlabs, Inc.

    Thorlabs offers a wide range of products that can be used for beam characterization. Properties such as intensity, degree of collimation, power, wavefront shape, and spectral properties can be measured.

  • Optical Spectrum Analyzers

    Thorlabs, Inc.

    Thorlabs' Optical Spectrum Analyzers (OSAs) perform highly accurate spectral measurements. Compatible with fiber-coupled and free-space light sources, these compact benchtop instruments suit a wide variety of applications, such as analyzing the spectrum of a telecom signal, resolving the Fabry-Perot modes of a gain chip, and identifying gas absorption lines.

  • Fourier Transform Optical Spectrum Analyzer, 600 - 1700 nm

    OSA202C - Thorlabs, Inc.

    Thorlabs' Optical Spectrum Analyzers (OSAs) perform highly accurate spectral measurements. Compatible with fiber-coupled and free-space light sources, these compact benchtop instruments suit a wide variety of applications, such as analyzing the spectrum of a telecom signal, resolving the Fabry-Perot modes of a gain chip, and identifying gas absorption lines. Many commonly available OSAs use grating-based monochromators, which have slow acquisition times due to the need to mechanically scan the grating and average out noise at each wavelength. Thorlabs' OSAs acquire the spectrum via a Fourier transform using a scanning Michelson interferometer in a push/pull configuration. This approach dramatically improves the acquisition time, enables a high-precision wavelength meter mode with 7 significant figures and ±1 part-per-million accuracy, and allows the included software to provide robust statistical analysis of the acquired spectra, as explained in the Design tab.

  • Polarization Instrumentation

    Thorlabs, Inc.

    This page features the optics and instrumentation necessary to control and measure the polarization of light. Our free-space and fiber-coupled polarimeters can measure any state of polarization (SOP) on the Poincaré sphere.

  • 2-Wavelength, Polarization-Maintaining WDMs

    Thorlabs, Inc.

    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.
