Consumer affordable VR HMDs emerged in 2013 and were based on aspheric lenses. Quite soon it was transition to Fresnel lenses partly resolving VER HMDs bulkiness and FoV, however, adding "god rays". In 2020 hybrid lenses based on aspheric part for central vision and Fresnel for peripheral vision were introduced by Hypervision and PiMax. However, industry moved to pancake lenses, starting from 2018 with numerous advantages mostly in compactness and better image sharpness and bigger eyebox.

These narrow-key-slot mating sleeves allow for proper alignment of angled, narrow key FC/APC connectors. These sleeves are also mechanically compatible with narrow key FC/PC connectors, but the flat FC/PC connector is significantly less alignment sensitive, which makes the wide-key-slot mating sleeves shown immediately above an acceptable alternative. All FC/PC and FC/APC patch cables manufactured by Thorlabs use narrow key connectors.

Flat FC/PC connectors are significantly less alignment sensitive than their angled FC/APC counterparts, making these wide-key-slot mating sleeves acceptable for narrow and wide key FC/PC connectors. Although these mating sleeves are mechanically compatible with narrow key FC/APC connectors, the wide-key slot makes it difficult to properly align the angled, narrow key FC/APC connector. For FC/APC applications, we therefore recommend the narrow-key-slot mating sleeves shown immediately below. All FC/PC and FC/APC patch cables manufactured by Thorlabs use narrow key connectors.

Our CAPF1 and CAPT1 Metal Caps, sold separately, are designed to protect the FC/PC and ST/PC ends of the mating sleeve, respectively.

Thorlabs' ADASMAV Mating Sleeve is a vacuum-compatible version of the ADASMA SMA to SMA Mating Sleeve. Constructed using 304 stainless steel, this adapter is designed to be used within ultra-high vacuum systems (>10-10 Torr) and features a Ø0.063" (Ø1.6 mm) vent hole in the side to allow trapped gases to escape (see image to the right). Unlike the standard version, the ADASMAV is only compatible with SMA905-style connectors. A 304 stainless steel washer and nut are included for custom mounting.

Vacuum Compatibility InformationOur vacuum-compatible adapter is chemically cleaned and prepared for vacuum applications before packaging. It is compatible directly out of the packaging with vacuum environments down to 10-10 Torr. With additional cleaning and processing, it can be used at even lower pressures, only limited by the outgassing rate of the stainless steel. The material properties of the stainless steel and the cleaning methods completed by the end user should be used to determine the appropriateness of these products and materials in a specific vacuum system. Please note that using caps or panels not rated for vacuum applications with the ADASMAV is not recommended.

In many devices, these materials serve an additional function: they help seal out ambient dust or fluids from sensitive optical components. This gel is formulated to be ultraclean, non-yellowing, and unaffected by x-ray, ultraviolet or sunlight exposure. It has extremely low outgassing and volatility characteristics and is free from light-absorbing microscopic particulates. This optical product is a chemically stable, non-toxic, synthetic material with wide temperature serviceability and is suitable for designs with high reliability and long service life.

Thorlabs Bulkhead Adapters each accept a fiber connector on one side and have threads that can be used to mount the adapter into an OEM or custom system. They are useful for applications that require light to be launched from a fiber into a free-space setup. The design aligns the front face of the connector ferrule with the rear surface of the adapter, as shown in the photo to the right, and allows the fiber to be placed in near-physical contact with any optics or instruments that are placed after the adapter.

Thorlabs' ADALC1 Mating Sleeve connects two LC/PC-terminated fiber optic cables, as seen in the image to the right. The sleeve incorporates two tabs that snap into place when inserted into a panel.

Thorlabs' ADAFC2 Wide-Key-Slot Mating Sleeve has a square flange with through holes for custom assemblies or our blank connection panels. The ADAFC1 Wide-Key-Slot Mating Sleeve is designed for the D-hole of a standard rack-mount panel, such as our fiber connection panels.

The ADAFC2 is also available premounted in an L-bracket.

*Please Note: If using a non-PM fiber this insertion loss will typically be less than 0.5 dB, due to higher tolerancing than our non-PM mating sleeves sold above.

The HAST adapter is a 0.58" (14.8 mm) long adapter for use with ST/PC terminated fiber optic patch cables. It has 0.18" (4.6 mm) of external 3/8"-24 external threads. The LN3824 Lock Nut, which has internal 3/8"-24 threads, may be purchased separately for mounting within OEM or custom systems. Both the HAST adapter and LN3824 are also available in packs of ten.

The uncommon mounting threads in these adapters will require the use of custom mounting solutions. The HAFC2, HAFC, and HASMA adapters may directly screw into an adapter plate. In order to mount the HAST adapter, the LN3824 lock nut must first be threaded onto the adapter (see the photo above). Once the lock nut is secure, the assembly may be threaded onto an adapter plate with a thread depth of at least 0.10" (2.54 mm). Please note that the HAST adapter and LN3824 lock nut are machined so that the maximum amount of torque needed to secure them into the adapter plate should not exceed 121.6 oz-lbs (0.86 N•m).

The typical insertion loss for mating an FC/PC-terminated SM fiber to an SMA-terminated MM fiber is less than 0.2 dBa, while the typical insertion loss for mating an FC/PC-terminated MM fiber to an SMA-terminated MM fiber is less than 1.4 dBb.

Care and Proper UseIt is important that the fiber tips be clean to minimize connection losses and avoid damage to the connector. Except for our SMA mating sleeves, the fiber tips will be in physical contact within all of our mating sleeves. The use of our G608N3 Index Matching Gel (sold below) can also help to reduce losses at the fiber connection. Thorlabs offers a complete selection of inspection tools and cleaning supplies for optical fiber. For terminated fiber, our reusable fiber-to-fiber splicing products are useful for creating temporary connections. Fiber caps are also available for protecting the end face of the fiber.

Ceramic mating sleeves are durable and can be easily cleaned in an autoclave. Phosphor bronze mating sleeves are opaque and slightly malleable, offering less light leakage into the environment and a lower disconnection force compared to ceramic sleeves. Phosphor bronze sleeves may also be crimped for a more secure connection. Ceramic sleeves are available individually or in packs of five, while phosphor bronze sleeves come in packs of five.

Bulkhead AdaptersThorlabs' FC/PC, SMA, and ST/PC Bulkhead Adapters contain one connector for applications that require the projection of light into free space (the ST/PC adapters are also available in packs of ten).
