Where to Buy Beam Collimators

Edmund Optics offers a wide range of laser accessories, including different kinds of beam collimators and expanders. In particular, we have fiber-coupled collimators which are suitable for FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA connectors.

Shanghai Optics provide many different types of standard collimating lenses, including aspheric and achromatic lenses for many different light sources such as highly divergent laser diodes. Our standard collimating lenses can convert divergent laser beams to well-collimated laser beams that enter beam expanders for interferometry, laser material processing and laser scanning applications.

We also provide custom collimating lenses for projecting a source at infinity for infinite conjugate testing of optical systems. The collimating lenses can consist of several optical elements. The selection of optical materials and optical configuration depends on the entrance pupil diameter, wavelength, focal length, and field of view of the optical system under test.

The Model 02-M010 is a three-element, air-spaced anastigmat designed specifically for collimating the output of large diameter silica fibers used in high power medical and industrial applications. It is equally suitable for collimating the output of Large Mode Area (LMA) or Photonic Crystal (PC) fibers with smaller numerical apertures. The mechanical assembly allows a precise translation of the lens (without rotation) relative to the fiber face.

The unique design of the Model 02-M010 prevents retroflections near the fiber face or within the core material. All elements are fused silica (the exception being the 1800–2000 nm collimator optics that are Infrasil) with either V-type or broadband coatings, depending on the operating wavelength range. When used for imaging purposes, the three-element design ensures the output mode from the fiber is preserved, without distortion, even at high throughput powers.

Focuslight Technologies offers beam collimators for high-power laser diodes:

• There are Fast Axis Collimators (FAC) with aspheric cylindrical lenses with a wide range of dimensions and wavelengths.
• Slow Axis Collimators (SAC) and Arrays are suitable for diode bars and stacks, respectively, and are also available with a wide range of dimensions and wavelengths.

Frankfurt Laser Company offers beam collimators which are designed for diode laser collimation.

We also offer a complete range of aspheric collimators with excellent performance, small and light design, and with fewer components in the optical system. Manufactured using glass replication technology, the lenses are a cost effective solution for a wide range of application and are available in a wide range of specification.

The FiberOut fiber collimator transforms the divergent beam emitted at the end of an optical fiber into a collimated one. It can be equipped with a variety of lenses, matching different fiber mode-field diameters and output beam sizes. The rugged, inexpensive collimator can be used for both FC/PC and FC/APC-type connectors. It can be easily mounted on post or into optical mounts (25 mm diameter).

We design and manufacture standard and custom collimator micro-lenses in 1D and 2D arrays.

All products are made in high grade fused silica and capable of both high efficency and high power handling.

Lenses can spheric, ashperic or freeform due to our unqiue manufacturing process.
