Abstract
A compact optical fiber coupler has been developed to allow transmission of light through an optical fiber to and from the high pressure region of a diamond anvil high pressure cell. Despite its small size the coupler has focusing adjustments and optics, which allows the light to be focused precisely on the sample within the pressure cell. The coupler is suitable for a wide range of optical measurements and particularly for high pressure measurements at low temperatures in cryostats with no optical windows. The use of the coupler to determine the pressure in a diamond anvil cell at 1.2 K using the ruby fluorescence spectra of ruby is demonstrated. The small size of the coupler and its construction out of nonmagnetic beryllium copper makes it suitable for use in high magnetic fields and for magnetization experiments.
