DFC BC / DFC BCF / DFC MD

フレキシブルビート検出ユニット

フレキシブルビート検出ユニット
DFC及びDL proと使用できるようデザイン
安定、コンパクト

２種類のフレキシブルなモジュールで構成されるトプティカのビート検出ユニット：DFC BC (或いは DFC BCF)及びDFC MD.ビーム結合とビーム検出を２つのユニットに分けることにより、異なる配置が可能になります。
DFC BCとDFC MDは、とりわけDFCとトプティカのDL proチューナブルダイオードレーザーシリーズとの組み合わせ様にデザインされていますが、その他のCWレーザーで使用することも可能です。
