This patented process bonds the fiber end directly to the optical center of the lens, which eliminates any epoxy within the optical path. LightPath Technologies can deliver a broad range of products. We offer collimators with beam diameters as small as 410 microns and as large as 12 millimeters. Please contact our sales department to discuss your specific needs. The collimator lens is laser polished to within a millionth of an inch of ideal shape, providing low insertion loss.
Laser fusion joins the fiber directly to the lens, a further step toward the perfect collimator.
In addition, the reduced package size of these collimators will be crucial to the development of smaller and more robust telecommunications products. The Generation 3 release, following a relatively short developmental cycle, reflects the capability and flexibility inherent in LightPath's automated packaging technologies. Insertion loss, measured per collimator pair, can be specified to match customer requirements. The collimator can be customized for different separations. Please contact sales to discuss customization requirements and volumes.
