Small Fiber Collimators
Features
• Small outer diameter housing
• Long working distance
• 450nm to 1550nm
• High temperature versions
Applications
• Sensors
• Probes
• Life sciences
For many applications, tight confined spaces require miniaturized solutions. We have designed some very small collimators with large working distances. Wavelengths range from 405nm to 1550nm.
These collimators do not use graded index lenses as those are not suitable for wavelengths under 600nm. Also most graded index lens collimators have very small working distances of a few millimeters and very large beam divergence.
Our small fiber collimators have a slightly larger beam of about 0.8mm and low beam divergence which makes the working distance very large, like a meter or more.
High precision components are used to manufacture small collimators at diode laser wavelengths. Housing material is stainless steel for thermal stability.
Standard fiber connectors are FC/UPC or FC/APC. Special terminations can be made on the connector end.
Environmental concerns can also be addressed on a semi custom basis, such as for high temperature versions.
