The Model SC3310 fiber optic sample chamber is a 2" x 2" x 2.5" light tight enclosure that allows for fiber input illumination and fiber output collection on a small sample. The sample chamber has one fiber input port and two fiber output ports positioned at 90° and 180° for fluorescence/reflection and transmission measurements respectively. For fibers smaller than 1.2mm diameter, SMA connector ports are used. For larger fiber bundles, Sciencetech's proprietary fiber bundle connector ports are used. The fiber ports are positioned at the geometric center of the sample chamber such that the central axis of the sample is illuminated and measured. The standard sample chamber has a cuvette holder, but an optional 2" x 2" square thin film holder is available as an upgrade. Nitrogen purging ports and TE sample cooling platform is also available as upgrades.
Thin Film Holder - The standard thin film holder upgrade supports 2" x 2" square filters, 1mm thick. Other dimensions are available as custom upgrades, so please inquire.
Fiber Bundle Connection
Industry standard SMA connectors only supports fibers up to 1.2mm diameter. For larger fibers diameters or fiber bundles, Sciencetech's proprietary fiber bundle connector is required. This proprietary fiber bundle connector accepts any fiber bundles up to 1/2" diameter with just a polished end. However, customer must state what diameter size fiber they intend to install.
Fiber Bundle Connector Specifications
Sciencetech's proprietary fiber bundle connectors are defined in product code FIB4. Please see Product Code FIB4 for details of this connector.
