Superior Performance
Imagine a positioning system so stable and easy to adjust that aligning singlemode fiber optical fibers is as simple as tuning a radio. No need to let go of the micrometers while adjusting - the I3000 is extremely touch insensitive. With the patented ergonomic inline design, all the micrometers are easily accessible on one side - just rest your hand comfortably on the table and enjoy the ease and efficiency of quickly aligning any type of fiber. No fiber alignment challenge is too difficult - even 1-2 micron core lensed fibers can easily be aligned. This is possible because of the radical departure from conventional design.
Innovation
The Luminos I3000 benefits from our patented Ratio Drive™ while all other stages are direct-drive. A standard micrometer, which has about 1/3 the backlash of a differential micrometer, is further improved by the 25x Ratio Drive™ resulting in a backlash of only 20 nanometers and an incredible single-sided resolution of just 1 nanometer!
The I3000 is extremely vibration and temperature insensitive. In an ordinary lab without an optical table, normal temperature fluctuations result in only 0.03 dB variation with no drift in a typical singlemode alignment for over a month. See Positioner Stability for more information.
Automation
With this advanced design, upgrading to automation is easy and inexpensive. The automated version delivers a resolution of 4 nanometers (0.16µ-inch) and 0.5 mm (0.02") of travel on the X and Y axes. An additional 2 mm (0.08") of manual travel is still available using the coarse adjustments. The Z axis provides a larger 12.7 mm (0.5") of travel on the focal axis and a step size of 100 nanometers (4µ-inch).
If you require more travel available at the actuator on the X & Y axes, consider the I3005.
