FC2-LED, FC3-LED and FC5-LED
High Power Fiber Coupled Multi-Wavelength LED Light Sources
Introduction
The new fiber-coupled high power UV, Violet, Blue, Green and Red LED Multi wavelength light source modules are
effective replacements of lasers and
lamps in many applications, such as
spectroscopy, illumination and curing.
These 2, 3 and 5 LED modules provide high power CW or pulsed power at fiber output. The LED current controller supports CW operation mode with precise power control of each channel.
The external TTL inputs enable external triggering of each LED separately. 3-LED and 5-LED are ideal for use with various fiber optic spectrometers in continuous, strobe or external triggering measurement mode . Currently the 3-LED and 5-LED products can include any combination of following wavelengths: 365nm, 385nm, 390nm, 395nm, 400nm, 405nm, 410nm, 415nm, 420nm, 425nm, 430nm, 435nm,440nm, 445nm, 455nm, 460nm, 465nm, 470nm, 475nm, 480nm, 495nm, 500nm, 505nm, 515nm,535nm, 595nm, 630nm and White

Specifications
Power output:
FC2-LED, FC3-LED and FC5-LED power output is limited by the reciprocal fiber characteristics. Larger core
and higher NA will increase maximum power output, and vice versa. Please contact us for power data for
specific wavelength and fiber.

Optional Accessories
Fiber patch cords:
Various fiber optic patch cords are available for use with the 3-LED or 5-LED products.
Most popular patch cords are 1000 / 1500 / 2000 micron core diameter Polymer Optical Fibers (POF)
terminated by optical SMA connectors on both sides. Prizmatix can provide Stainless Steel tube at one end of
the patch cord instead of the SMA connector. This configuration is more convenient in some applications.

Collimator:
The output from optical fiber is divergent according to fiber NA. In order to reduce the
divergence angle a collimator module can be used. Prizmatix collimator was especially designed to fit thick
core high NA Polymer Optical Fibers.

Fiber Bundles:
To combine outputs of multiple LEDs a Y-shaped fiber bundle with two or more input
branches can be used. Prizmatix can help to configure and build custom fiber bundles for specific applications.

Special Bundles:
For spectroscopy application special fiber optic bundles are very important. Special care
must be addressed to eliminate possible cross link between the excitation and the collection fibers.
