Buying Fiber Collimators
There are beam collimators specifically optimized for use with optical fibers. Some can be attached to bare fiber ends, while others can be used with fiber connectors. Fiber collimators are essential in coupling light efficiently between fibers and free space in various optical systems.

Enhancing Beam Performance PowerPhotonic Ltd.5A St David's Drive Dalgety Bay Fife KY11 9PF United Kingdom See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 5023)! |
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. |
