Where to Buy Fiber Collimators

Coupling of light into single mode fibres can be made simple with the use of a PowerPhotonic fiber coupling micro lens array. We design and manufacture standard and custom optics 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.

Edmund Optics offers fiber-optic collimators for FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA connectors and different wavelength ranges around 350 nm to 1600 nm.

Our polarization-maintaining fiber collimator has a high extinction ratio, low insertion and high return loss. The unique processing and high-quality AR coating also enable this collimator to handle high optical powers.

Schäfter+Kirchhoff offers a wide range of fiber collimators that can be used for collimating or in reverse as an incoupler. This includes the series 60FC collimators or series 60FC-SF collimators with super fine-focussing mechanism. For large beam diameters the series 60FC-T collimators can be used with integrated TILT mechanism. Special collimators 60FC-Q with integrated quarter-wave plate or made from amagnetic titanium are also available.

Our mid-IR focusing and collimating objectives are designed for use with infrared fiber-optic cables and bundles.

The housing of the lens easily connects to fiber-optic cables either with FC/PC or with SMA connectors and enables Z-axis alignment.

Mid-IR lenses are available with anti-reflection (AR) coating for two spectral ranges:

• 3–5 µm – for chalcogenide fiber cables
• 8–12 μm – for silver halide fiber cables

CSRayzer provides different kinds of fiber collimators, which can be customized for high power, focusing distance, beam spot diameter, etc. Fixed focus collimators are also available.

Our very broad line of fiber/receptacle collimators allows coupling light into and out of optical fibers:

• pigtail- or receptacle-style collimators and focusers with low back reflection and diffraction-limited lenses
• pigtail-style collimators with a very small form factor
• pigtail-style collimators for PM fibers and 630–1550 nm
• pigtail-style collimators for SM or PM fibers and 450–2000 nm
• receptacle-style collimators and corresponding screw-on focusers with BK-7 or silica lenses in ruggedized aluminium packages
• receptacle-style collimators with aspheric lenses pre-aligned for use with fiber patch cords, producing 0.7–4.2 mm beam diameters for 405–1550 nm
