Fiber strippers from LASER COMPONENTS are characterized by their particularly high precision and quality. This allows you to work extremely gently on the sensitive glass cladding of the fiber. In-house production ensures consistently high quality and enables adaptations to special fiber types, individual markings, and private label solutions. Standard types are available from stock at short notice at any time.

The MVfemto is supplied with a fixed focus set according to customer requirements in order to achieve the desired combination of line thickness and depth of field for the respective customer application with the highest quality.

TO-46 housings can be equipped with an optical fiber. 

The FLEXPOINT^® MVpulseHP is available in the wavelengths 445 nm (500-1000 mW), 520 nm, 660 nm, and 808 nm (300-500 mW each). The operating temperatures and possible applications vary depending on the wavelength.

The FLEXPOINT^® MVpico, MVnano and MV18 models are currently available with the 2025 focusing mechanism.

Depending on the fiber, you can use the water-cooled fiber cables for virtually any wavelength from ultraviolet (300 nm) to infrared (1900 nm). This makes it a versatile and piece of equipment for a wide range of industrial applications.

The Differential DLaTGS Detectors can be equipped with a variety of infrared transmitting windows.  
A widely used option in the industry is the KBr window, which transmits up to 30 μm and can come with a parylene moisture protective coating. Other available IR windows include BaF₂, CaF₂, CsI, CVD diamond, silicon, and ZnSe. For THz wavelengths, the HDPE window transmits well beyond 60 μm. Detailed information about the full range of IR windows and their properties can be found here: Choice of filters for pyroelectric detectors. 

The ALT / ALUT detectors can be provided with a variety of infrared transmitting windows. Prominently used within the industry, the KBr window transmits out to 30 µm and is also available with a parylene moisture protective coating. BaF2, CaF2, CsI, CVD diamond, silicon, and ZnSe are some of the other IR windows available. For THz wavelengths the HDPE window transmits significantly past 60 µm. The complete list of IR windows available and their properties are described here

The KBr window for the IR version opens at about 200 nm and goes to about 30 µm, while the HDPE window for the THz version goes well beyond 60 µm. 

Five wavelengths with different output powers are available: 445 nm with 2000 mW output power, 638 - 808 nm with 1000 mW output power. The module also offers different focus options as well as active high and active low modulation and can be synchronized to the individual camera shutter speed.

The fiber strippers are available in different versions: Blue models for thin glass fiber cores in data communication, red variants for industrial fibers with larger cores, and yellow, variably adjustable strippers for different diameters. In addition, customer-specific adaptations—for example, for special fiber types or individual markings—as well as private label options are possible.

The FLEXPOINT^® MV12 is available in various wavelengths from 405 nm to 850 nm and offers several opening angles between 5° and 90°. In addition, the focus can be variably adjusted to optimally adapt the ratio of line thickness to depth of field to the respective application.

The output signal is an analog Voltage signal in the range of -8 V to +8 V

The output signal is an analog voltage as shown in the bias circuit. The detector responds to changing incident IR flux and the response voltage rides on top of a DC offset voltage.  

The operating temperature is -20 to +55 °C. For applications where temperatures go beyond this range, LASER COMPONENTS can provide additional qualification testing to ensure reliable performance.   
As with all optical elements, it is important to keep the detector in non-condensing environments. Some of the IR transmitting windows such as KBr and CsI are hygroscopic and high humidity exposure should be avoided.  

The maximum power depends on the fiber diameter. For 200 µm-fibers, the maximum power of the active, water-cooled version is at 200 W while the passive version can handle up to 60 W. These limits can be exceeded using larger fiber diameters.

An adhesive-free bare fiber design enhances safety by eliminating flammable adhesives and increases durability by preventing thermal degradation. It also improves heat dissipation, ensures higher optical performance, resulting in a more reliable and long-lasting solution for high-power laser applications.

The FLEXPOINT^® MVpulseHP is a laser module that achieves an output power of up to 1000 mW and does not require active cooling despite this high output. It retains a standard diameter of 19 mm and is particularly well suited for outdoor inspection tasks, such as the inspection of roads and rails.  

The 3dB cut off frequency is 8 kHz. Measurements are possible from 1 Hz to even 100 kHz, but the detector is made for frequencies around 1-2 kHz, where there is no need for overly complex interpretation of the output signal.

Factory calibrated at 1 kHz, the differential DLaTGS detectors can operate up to approximately 10 kHz. They have shown a rapid response to changes in IR flux, meeting the requirements for IR detectors used in FTIR applications. 

The ALT / ALUT detectors are factory calibrated at 1 kHz and can be used out to approximately 10 kHz. The detectors have demonstrated a fast response to IR flux change which is a requirement for IR detectors used in FTIRs. 

The receiver makes it significantly easier to get useful signals from your sources. Not only massively speed up the detector, it also does this with very low noise and you also do not need to take care of any offsets, as the output signal base line is 0 V. Furthermore, and quite obviously, there is no need of soldering any detectors to an own driver electronics. 

The scratch-dig value describes the surface defects such as scratches, holes or point defects that can occur during the manufacture of the optics.

The FLEXPOINT^® MVfemto is produced in three housing options: as a standard housing with integrated electronics, as an optical head with separate electronics, and as an optical head without electronics if these are already available on the customer's side.

The two figures indicate the core diameter when the blades are open and closed, respectively. These values are crucial for determining the correct stripper for the specific fiber. You can find the exact matching of the appropriate stripper to your fiber in the data sheet “Fiber stripper for industrial use”.

Applications encompass spectroscopy using FTIR and the detection of THz radiation. However, more specialized applications, such as measuring and monitoring laser power at long wavelengths, are also observed. These high-performance detectors offer enhanced output and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for demanding applications. 

Typical use cases are for spectroscopic applications in FTIR instruments, and for THz radiation detection. However, more exotic use cases can be observed, such as the measurement and monitoring of laser power at long wavelengths. 

Typical use cases are THz detection or spectroscopic applications in FTIR instruments. But we also see more exotic use cases like laser power measurements, where it is nice to have a pyro electric element for detection that integrates the measured power even for very fast lasers without complex effects that quantum devices usually create.

The housing of the compact MVmicro line laser with MV12 thread measures 90 mm in length and 19 mm in diameter.

The detectors do not require cooling but should be maintained within an operating temperature range of -20 to +55 °C.  It is crucial to keep the detectors in non-condensing environments, as some IR transmitting windows like KBr and CsI are hygroscopic and should not be exposed to high humidity.

The various focus options ensure that the MVmicro achieves the right combination of line thickness and depth of field for every wavelength.

The factory-set focus is optimized for the working distance defined by the customer. This approach is ideal for easy integration into series production. If the focusing mechanism is selected, the FLEXPOINT^® MVmicro laser module can be easily and quickly adjusted by hand to different distances for optimal results without the need for additional tools.

The detector is designed to eliminate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and significantly improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). With its patented differential connection method, the DD31 boosts SNR by 1.4 times, ensuring cleaner, more accurate signal output in noisy environments, such as those affected by processor clocks and line interference. Ultimately, the dual-output signals can be easily combined via subtraction, doubling the final output while minimizing noise.

There are several advantages. As mentioned above these detectors do not require temperature stabilization or cooling. Additionally, the LTO based pyroelectric element has a high Curie temperature of about 610 °C and does not de-pole under high IR flux. The detectors have demonstrated excellent linearity in qualification tests with high optical power FTIRs; the linearity of the detector response under changing IR illumination is a key requirement for accuracy of the Fourier Transform mathematical operation. The ALT / ALUT detectors have large active detection areas compared to some quantum detectors that use immersion lenses. 

Fiber strippers are used to precisely remove the buffer/coating from optical fibers and prepare them optimally for splicing, assembly, or testing processes. In industry, they are used in the assembly of optical fibers, in electrical installations, in fiber manufacturing, and in tensile strength testing.

During 3D scanning with structured light, the MVmicro projects one or more parallel lines onto an object so that its three-dimensional shape can be measured precisely. It is used, for example, in quality control, surface inspection, or in robotics for object recognition and navigation.

Our cooled fiber cables are designed for high-power industrial applications such as laser cutting, welding, cleaning, and soldering. Its use ensures both high precision and efficiency in these industrial environments.

The FLEXPOINT^® MVpulseHP combines high laser power with a compact design. Thanks to the pulsed emission and an integrated microcontroller, the module remains powerful and the laser diode is protected from over heating. This makes it ideal for use under difficult environmental conditions.   

The 2025 focusing mechanism of the FLEXPOINT^® MV laser modules MVpico, MVnano and MV18 offers a more robust design, particularly resistant to dust, humidity and water splashes. The modules are also more compact, and beam deviations during the focusing process have been further reduced. Handling remains as simple as ever.

With its very small dimensions of 40 mm in length and 8 mm in diameter, the MVfemto from LASER COMPONENTS is particularly suitable for applications with limited installation space, e.g., in small 3D sensors. Its low weight also makes it ideal for equipping robots, e.g., in material or quality testing.

LASER COMPONENTS ist eine international tätige, familiengeführte Unternehmensgruppe, die seit 1982 erfolgreich im Wachstumsmarkt der Photonik agiert. Unser Kerngeschäft umfasst die Herstellung und den Vertrieb von optischen und optoelektronischen Komponenten.

Yes. Its robust housing without moving parts, with optimized heat dissipation and integrated cooling (TEC) allows for stable and un-interrupted operation even in the most demanding environments.

The MV12 laser module has a robust stainless steel housing with an M12 external thread, which allows for easy mounting in existing threads or holes. The electrical connection is made via an M12 connector as standard.

We have measured a deviation of linearity of < 1% over four decades of input power.  

MCT detectors are much faster, that is clear. The receiver however goes well beyond 12 µm, opening completely new fields of applications. It operates at more than 50°C ambient temperatures, which is very difficult with MCT detectors. Although the operating temperatures of MCT detectors often is marked as +70°C, but the important information what happens to the shunt resistance at such temperatures is missing. The PR N°1 still works at these temperatures like at any other room temperature. Another advantage is the linearity over four decades. MCT detectors typically are linear only over 2 decades.

The laser beam is emitted in pulses that are controlled by a microcontroller. The pulse length and duty cycle are preset at the factory. This prevents the laser diode from overheating and enables stable performance without active cooling. 

The combination of high light intensity and compact design enables shorter exposure times and higher resolution in image processing and fits into (almost) any system. This improves throughput and the quality of inspection results, especially in outdoor applications. 

There are three technologies that help these cables deliver their exceptional results: 

1. ModeStrip Technology makes sure that disturbing and dangerous cladding waves are filtered out. It increases the life span of a fiber and prevent it from burning. 
2. A heat sink made of stainless steel or copper collects heat from the fiber and dissipates it into the surrounding air. This helps the cables deliver powers up to 130 W. 
3. In the active version, a water-cooling jacket is situated around the cooling element. Each hour, 30 liters of distilled water flow around the cooling element and add additional cooling potential to allow laser powers of 200 W and more depending on the fiber diameter.

This module is particularly well suited for outdoor applications in industrial image processing, such as the inspection of railroad tracks, roads, and train wheels. In the wood industry, laser modules with an output of 300-500 mW at 660 nm and 808 nm also help increase efficiency. Higher light intensities and higher output powers are used in the steel industry as well. 

It is particularly suitable for industrial inspections under extreme conditions, for example when inspecting steel or scanning hot materials or maintaining rails and roads.

The MV12 laser module was specially developed for applications in industrial image processing. Typical areas of application are inspections, 3D triangulations, or other measurement and testing tasks that require a precise and homogeneous laser line.

The FLEXPOINT^® MV modules are particularly suitable for demanding applications in industrial image processing (machine vision), such as in wood, metal and stone processing, where harsh conditions due to dust and water prevail.

No, it is a completely uncooled device.

Yes, the production of customized laser optics is one of LASER COMPONENTS' major strengths. Please contact our experts for further details.

No. The ALT / ALUT detectors are fabricated using lithium tantalate (LTO) pyroelectric material. LTO based detectors do not require temperature stabilization and cooling does not improve their performance. 

Yes, both the peak output power and the pulse length can be adapted to an application. The pulse length can be set between 20 µs and 20 ms (e.g., depending on the exposure time of the camera), and LASER COMPONENTS can customize the duty cycle to the specific requirements of the application. The maximum peak power can be set between 300 mW and 1000 mW depending on the wavelength. 

Yes, the MV12 laser module can be customized on request – for example, in terms of wavelength, power, or optical properties. Individual inquiries can be made for special requirements.

Yes, on request, LASER COMPONENTS continues to offer its modules with older mechanics if this is necessary for existing sensor designs, for example.

The FLEXPOINT^® MVfemto delivers consistent line quality at these wavelengths: 405/450/520/635/660/785/830 nm.
