Buying Beam Collimators

Your Custom Optics Expert

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.

Collimation of single mode fibres can be made simple with the use of a PowerPhotonic fiber collimating micro lens array. We design and manufacture standard and custom in 1D and 2D arrays. All products are made in high grade fused silica and capable of both high efficiency and high power handling and our unique process minimises channel cross talk due to extremely low scatter. Lenses can spheric, aspheric or freeform due to our unique manufacturing process.

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 retroreflections 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.

Avantier offers a wide range of standard collimating lenses, which includes aspheric and achromatic lenses suitable for various light sources such as laser diodes with high divergence. These standard collimating lenses have the ability to convert divergent laser beams into well-collimated laser beams. These collimated beams can then be utilized for laser material processing, laser scanning applications, and interferometry by entering beam expanders.

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).
