PLI-A10 Adjustable Beam Spot Plastic Fiber Optic Assembly

Integrated convergent lens, M6 threaded housing, unterminated

Features

Bifurcated coaxial ø0.5 mm/9x 0.25 mm fibers

Integrated lens converges emitted light at a variable distance from the compact fiber head

Beam spot diameter varies according to fiber ferrule insertion depth
Spot diameter is adjustable from ø0.5 mm (0.04") to ø3.2 mm (0.14")
Metal hex nuts (M6 x 0.75) and lock washer included
Cut-to-length fiber optic cable

A normal plastic fiber optic has a “beam diffusion” angle of about 60°, making it difficult (if not impossible) to sense very small targets. A convergent lens allows focusing of the beam to a small spot, enabling detection of minute targets at relatively long distances.
