Fiber optic collimator is an effective passive optical component used for laser beam collimating. and Fiber optic collimators come in many forms.
There are more things to consider when it comes to purchasing collimators.
- LENS TYPE
- SIZE DOES MATTER
- SPHERICAL OR CHROMATIC ABERRATION
- SINGLEMODE OR MULTIMODE
- PAIRING, TARGETING, OR LASER PIGTAILING
- 0 DEGREE OR 8 DEGREE
- ALTERNATIVES
Introduction to Fiber Collimator
Fiber Optic Collimators are devices used to expand and collimate the output light at the fiber end, or to couple light beams between two fibers. They are a module that combines fiber and a lens and has a function that produces parallel beams. We offer a range of fixed and adjustable fiber optic collimation packages for collimating a laser beam from the end of an FC/APC, FC/PC, or SMA connectorized fiber while maintaining diffraction-limited performance at the design wavelength. They are available with different wavelengths (850 nm, 980 nm, 1060 nm, 1310 nm, 1550 nm) or fiber options (SM fiber, MM fiber, PM fiber, and LMA fiber, etc).
A fiber optic collimator is a device that narrows a beam of particles or waves. It can either cause the directions of light to become more aligned in a specific direction, or cause the spatial cross section of the beam to become smaller. Usually, fiber optic collimator is required to naturally transform diverging lights from an optical fiber to a parallel beam of light. It consists a single-mode or multimode fiber pigtail and a collimating lens. The collimator can also be used to calibrate other optical devices to check if all elements are aligned on the optical axis.

How Does It Work?
When placing the fiber end on the collimator lens, the light will be aligned to a parallel direction. Then through a slight adjustment of the fiber end position, the working distance is obtained. The working distance of fiber optic collimator is related to the distance between fiber end and lens. According to the actual demands, we can determine the parameters of fiber collimator, such as the distance between fiber end and lens, beam radius, accuracy, to achieve better performance.
Conclusion
Selecting the right type of fiber optic collimator is essential to the performance of the network, you should consider your project requirements as important factors.
