	The 6010 uses optical fiber to couple the light out

Solution To bring the light from the 6010 to your DUT (device under test), use a compatible optical fiber. The fiber within the various models of the 6010 varies, but the front panel fiber optic connector is always a 905 SMA connector.

An example: the 6010G has a 750 um diameter fiber bundle at the front panel connector. The fibers within that bundle have a NA of .55 and a OD of 46 um. In order to couple all the light from the this bundle one has to use a fiber that has a NA (numerical aperture) and OD compatible with this bundle. A commonly available fiber is a 1000 um OD PCS (plastic coated silica) fiber. It can be terminated at one end with a SMA connector and at the user end with a polished surface, encased in a metal ferrule and polished, or with a SMA connector . . .
