Overview
Luminos Fiber Holder includes standard fiber holder and vertical fiber holder. 

Standard Fiber Holders

Features
• Dual Action Clamp
• Fine ruled Precision V-Groove
• Sculpted tip for fiber visibility
• Sliding attachment for settable projection
• Soft contact element for sensitive tapered fiber use

Overview
The FH003 Extended Precision V-Groove bare fiber holder is designed for use on the I3000, I3005, I5000, I5005, I6000, I6005 and RYP3000. The Extended V-Groove fiber holder is longer to reach out to the coincident rotation point. Special slide attachment features allow this fiber holder to be user adjusted for the desired projection. The hardened stainless steel precision V-Groove has been sculpted at the end for easy fiber visibility as alignment occurs. Dual action clamps and springs make for excellent fiber holding without breakage. Clamping force is set so the fiber is held firmly, yet can be pushed through the clamp by the operator. Spring tension can be custom factory set for any desired clamping force.

Vertical Fiber Holders

Features
• VFH are designed specifically to align fibers orthogonal to the surface of a PIC substrate at a slight angle to minimize unwanted reflections.
• Angle adjustable between 87 to 77 degrees, or 8 +/-5 degrees off of 90 degrees
• Fibers rotate about the projected tip minimizing re-alignment after angular adjustments
• Available as mirrored pairs, ideal for Luminos “T” configurations (I/O + Center Positioners)
• Fibers are guided in precision Ruled V-Grooves and held in place gently by large area clamping shims.
• Separate V-Grooves are optimized for holding acrylate coated fibers with a bare glass end section.
• Narrow V-Groove geometry allows two vertically held fibers to be positioned adjacent to each other

Overview
The VFH Vertical Fiber Holders are designed to mount onto the I3000, I3005, I5000, I5005, I6000, I6005 and RYP3000. The Vertical Fiber Holders place the tips of the projecting fiber at a rotation point that is maintained as the fiber angle is re-adjusted. The VFH’s unique design features a narrow profile precision ruled hardened 7068 aluminum V-Groove Block, with two small V-Grooves to guide fibers when loading. The geometry of the VFH’s also allows single or mirrored pair of fibers to be placed within 3 degrees of vertical with the projecting fiber tips located directly adjacent to each other. Dual action flexible shim type clamps make for excellent fiber clamping with a gentle distributed force that avoids fiber damage. Clamping force is set so the fiber is held firmly yet can still be moved within the clamp by the operator to adjust the position of the fiber tip. Spring force is factory preset for working with typical 125/250um acrylate clad optical fibers.  See Luminos Vertical Fiber Holders in use as part of the VCSEL Alignment System Application.
