Connectorized Fiber System

The System

   The PPS connectorized fiber optic system is designed to transfer laser light from one location to another with minimal losses. The fiber input coupler accepts laser light and directs it into the fiber optic cable. The cable conducts the laser energy to the output coupler, which recovers the   beam. Fiber optic beam transport can be used to produce virtually any laser lighting effect at a distance up to hundreds of feet from the laser source. This system is presently in use in major touring shows, theme parks, and attractions worldwide.
 
     The compact input coupler design mounts to standard breadboards, is simple to use, and offers proven reliability. Create any effect, anywhere, with three fiber sizes available, and quick fiber connections to a wide selection of output couplers and remote accessories. High efficiency systems can deliver 30 watt beams, or be optimized for low divergence remote scanning.

 The Solution

   Fiber optics multiply the effectiveness of any laser display system by allowing displays in different areas, all originating at one central laser location.  This is far more economical than installing more lasers. Fiber is the key to the future of laser entertainment, and an essential element in the competetive market. Open the doorway to total freedom in effects design.
 

 Input Coupler

   Coupling a laser beam into an optical fiber is easy using the PPS Connectorized Input    Coupler. The CFS-CIC input coupler provides the accurate positoning resolution necessary for high coupling efficiency and long term stability. The input unit is enclosed, adjustable, and equipped with a female conical fiber optic socket. Input couplers accept a one inch    beam height over the mounting surface, and mount with 1/4-20 hardware on 2 inch centers.
 

Output Couplers

 The PPS CFS-XOC series Connectorized Output Couplers range from compact units for scanning applications to large, low divergence models for beam work and outdoor displays. These units make many previously impossible display tasks as simple as stringing cable. All units are fully enclosed, focusable, and equipped with a female conical fiber socket. The CFS-COC and CFS-SOC compact and scanning output couplers are designed for use with scanning systems where small beam diameters are required. The CFS-MOC and CFS-LOC medium and large output couplers are used for aerial display applications requiring low divergence. Custom ouptput couplers with ultra-low divergence, razor sharp beam edges, and beam diameters of up to six inches are available on special order. 

Fiber Connectors

        The CFC-4XXX series male conical fiber connectors allow rapid connection and disconnection of the fiber from the display accessory, while enclosing and protecting the fiber surface. These connectors are available in sizes to fit 50, 100, and 200 micron fiber optic cables. Connectors are all metal, with a conical ferrule which insures perfect centration and repeatable fiber alignment. Connectors are attached to the cable using an epoxy / crimp and wet polish process, which can be completed in ten minutes or less with a minimal amount of practice.
