Laser Beam Couplers Series 60SMS
The Schäfter+Kirchhoff laser beam couplers launch a laser beam into, or from a polarization-maintaining
single-mode fiber. This document provides assistance in installing and adjusting the laser beam couplers
series 60SMS. It describes how a fiber cable is attached, and how a fiber coupling is optimized.
1. Before You Start
The laser beam coupler is shipped with a protection cap for the fiber receptacle and with a front cap.
Please remove all the protection caps first and do not use them as beam
dumps (risk of photo contamination).
Notice:
There is a two-part protection cap on the receptacle. Please perform the following steps in order to remove
this cap:
Figure 1:
First, remove the threaded cap from
the fiber receptacle of the laser beam
coupler.

Then, slightly loosen the small pin
screw. Use the screwdriver 9D-12.
Make sure to not loosen it too far, as it
is small and easily lost.
