About the Z Fiber Module (ZFSM)
The ZFSM-Mini is a high-end fiber laser with active cooling for high-resolution measurement, medical devices and analytical instruments. Light travels down a single-mode fiber with an FC/PC connector into a separate 20 mm optical head, so the diode and its heat sit away from the measurement point.
Micro-optics on that head produce lines under 15 micrometres wide with M2 below 1.05, uniformity of plus or minus 10 percent and straightness inside 0.05 percent, which is what a fine profile measurement needs. Micro-optics give 10 and 20 degree fan angles over 40 to 150 mm, and standard optics add 30 to 75 degrees over 150 to 10,000 mm.
An integrated thermoelectric cooler power-stabilizes the source, holding wavelength drift under 1 nm and one-hour power stability inside 1 percent, and fail-safe operation is provided for critical applications. Wavelengths are 450 nm and 520 nm to 15 mW and 640 nm and 660 nm to 35 mW, on 5 to 30 VDC at under 15 W with I2C and RS-232. Classification follows IEC 60825-1:2014 and IEC 60601-2-22 for laser classes 3R and 3B.
