Optical Fiber Collimator - GRIN Lens or C Lens

Optical fiber collimator is an important sub-component widely used in fiber optical components and devices. Collimators usually use GRIN lens or C lens to transform the light from a point source (such as laser diode) into parallel light. Collimators are used to couple light between different parts, such as from laser diode to fiber, from fiber to planar waveguide, or from micro-optical crystal to fiber, etc.

Features:

• C Lens or GRIN Lens
• Low insertion loss and high return loss
• Single fiber or dual fiber

Applications:

• Passive fiber optical components, laser diodes, or planar waveguide circuits, etc.
