Newport 760 Laser Diode Stand Photometrics CH220 Camera w/ 5 Starrett

Newport 760 Laser Diode Stand Photometrics CH220 Camera w/ 5 Starrett Micrometers

The Newport 760 is a precision laser diode positioning stand designed for optical bench and photonics laboratory applications. This unit includes a Photometrics CH220 CCD camera head mounted to the rotating optical housing, a 16-26 multi-pin circular data connector with its protective cap, and five micrometer adjusters (Starrett and Newport Corp branded) for fine multi-axis positioning. The assembly provides stable, repeatable mechanical adjustment for aligning laser diodes or coupling light into optical fibers and detectors.

Applications

The Newport 760 series is used in precision photonics and optical research labs for laser diode mounting, alignment, and coupling tasks. Typical applications include aligning a laser diode output to an optical fiber, coupling light into a spectrometer or detector, and measuring beam characteristics using an integrated CCD sensor such as the Photometrics CH220. The Photometrics CH220 is a scientific-grade CCD camera head used in imaging, spectroscopy, and light-measurement applications — commonly paired with a controller to capture low-light or quantitative optical signals. Newport positioning hardware of this type was widely used in aerospace, defense optics, and university research environments from the 1980s onward, and remains relevant for legacy optical system maintenance and photonics R&D. The five included micrometers provide the fine-thread manual adjustment needed for precise sub-millimeter positioning of optics and detectors on the stand.
