Single-mode fiber collimator is packaged by precise positioning of fiber pigtail and focusing lens, which can transform the output light of fiber into parallel light beam (Gaussian beam) or couple external parallel light into the fiber. It can also be used alone to achieve the required spot size at a specific position according to the predetermined divergence angle.
According to the working distance, it can be divided into fixed working distance (fixed focus) collimator and variable collimator for working distance range. Conventional lenses or Grin lenses should be selected according to different working distances. We recommend installing the collimator in an optical precision adjustment frame for adjustment to ensure the best coupling efficiency.

Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Collimator is assembled precisely by PM fiber pigtail and a Grin lens or C-Lens, which can convert the divergent light into a parallel beam (Gaussian beam) from fiber export , or couple space parallel light into the fiber. It can be used singly to achieve a specified beam size at the required position, or paired with other optical components such as filters and isolators in between two collimators to meet specific customer needs. In fiber optic interferometric sensors based on optical coherence detection, the use of polarization-maintaining fibers can ensure the unchanged polarization direction, improve the coherence signal-to-noise ratio, and achieve high-precision measurement of physical quantities.
When making a polarization maintaining connector, the axis direction of the cat's eye connection is aligned with the connection line direction of the key slot fiber core, also known as slow axis alignment. When the two lines are perpendicular, it is fast axis alignment.
Coaxial fiber collimator also known as the non-deviation angle fiber optic collimator, its core characteristic lies in the nearly perfect coincidence between the output optical axis of the collimator and the mechanical axis. This design eliminates the need for precise adjustment of the output angle of the light beam during the installation process, greatly simplifying the installation procedure.Within the working distance range, the coaxial fiber collimator can always maintain excellent collimation performance, ensuring the stable transmission of optical signals. Especially in the paired installation, this collimator can achieve rapid and precise alignment, significantly reducing the insertion loss of the optical path and effectively improving the transmission efficiency of optical signals.

Achromatic Lenses Collimators It consists of a group of long focal length collimating optical systems with chromatic aberration and distortion compensation design, making the focal length of the collimator insensitive to wavelength bandwidth. The divergent light beam emitted from the optical fiber, providing a good collimating effect and beam shape within a certain distance range. The optical surfaces of the lens group are coated with anti-reflection film to minimize surface reflection. The relative position of the lens and fiber is precisely adjusted to ensure that the deviation angle of the emitted light is within 0.3°, and standardized manufacturing processes ensure stable consistency of the product.

Aspheric Lenses Collimators The aspherical lens's unique aberration-correction design empowers it to execute highly efficient and accurate collimation of light beams. As a result, the energy of the output light beam assumes a Gaussian distribution. Both surfaces of the lens are coated with anti-reflection films, that significantly decrease surface reflection losses and substantially improve the light transmittance. Nevertheless, the aspherical lens possesses certain inherent characteristics. Specifically, it exhibits a chromatic aberration phenomenon, with a strong correlation existing between its effective focal length (EFL) and the wavelength. During the manufacturing , the relative positioning of the lens and the optical fiber has undergone extremely precise adjustments. This ensures that the deflection angle of the emitted light beam is maintained within an exceedingly narrow range of 0.5°. Consequently, it is better equipped to adapt to diverse application scenarios and system requirements.

Aspheric Lenses Collimators with Fiber It adopts a compact structural design. The pigtail fiber with an inclination angle and the aspherical lens are precisely adjusted, ensuring that the emitted light presents a high-quality Gaussian beam and has excellent collimation characteristics at the same time.Anti-reflection films are coated on both the surfaces of the lens and the optical fiber, which greatly reduces the reflected light at the light-emitting end face and significantly decreases the optical noise in the optical path, making the light transmission process more stable.
The long-focal-length collimator is designed with a bent-shaped housing, which can effectively correct the light-emitting deflection angle caused by the angled pigtail fiber, ensuring that the light beam is collimated and emitted with almost no deviation. For the short-focal-length collimator, the deflection angle caused by the light output of the angled pigtail fiber is extremely small and can be almost ignored. Therefore, a straight-through housing is used. In this way, while meeting the performance requirements, it also takes into account the structural stability and reliability.
