Description
Fiber optic collimators come in all sizes commercially. Most of them are based on the successful
GRIN lenses, which find their way into many passive and active components. However, GRIN lenses
are not very suitable for visible wavelengths or large beam. Our high performance collimators employ
high quality aspheric lenses and achromatic doublets to achieve low wave-front distortion, low
divergence,and diffraction limited beam quality. Large-beam collimators are not only ideal for
long-range target shooting but also good for pair coupling at long working distances. Some of our very
large-beam (>14 mm) collimators have been used in free-space optics communications. Use these
collimators with our standard laser-diode light source, pigtailed diode lasers, or receptacle laser diode
modules. We also produce custom retro-reflectors to pair with our collimators.
