850nm Polarization Maintaining Single Fiber Collimator

The 850nm PM Fiber Collimator is the basic element for in-line PM fiber optics components, such as PM isolator and PM DWDM. It has high extinction ratio, low insertion and high return loss. The unique processing and high-quality AR coating also enable this collimator to handle high power.

If you do not see a standard PM Fiber Collimator that meets your needs, we welcome the opportunity to review your desired specification and quote a custom PM Fiber Collimator. Requests for custom fiber pigtails, different wavelengths and handling power of operation or other specific needs will be readily addressed.

The specifications are w/o connector. Other lens sizes can also be customized according to requirements.
For devices with connectors, IL will be 0.3dB higher, RL will be 5dB lower and ER will be 2dB lower. The default connector key is aligned to slow axis. Power transmits through the connector less than 2W.
Waist Beam Diameter is measured at the alignment wavelength at 1/2 working distance.
When purchasing the collimator, please inform us whether it is used alone or in pairing. If paired, we will pack and ship the paired ones together.
For G-lens, Working Distance <20mm.

Some reminders about collimators

2000nm Polarization Maintaining Single Fiber Collimator

1.Definition of working distance:
If used for pairing, it is the distance between two lenses.
If used alone, it is twice the distance between the lens and the target object.

2. Waist Beam Diameter: Ideally, it mostly refers to the spot diameter at the waist position (1/2 working distance).

3.Once the C-lens collimator is produced, the waist position has already been fixed, so measuring the spot diameter at different positions will have different values waist beam diameter. So the C-lens collimator cannot be considered a true collimator, it can only be considered a type of focusing device. Some parameters of the collimator, such as divergence angle, focal length, etc., are not applicable to C-lens collimators. When we make conventional collimators, we only consider the working distance, and the spot diameter is generally less than 0.5mm, unless we design C-lenses separately.

4.Back Focal Length: The distance between the lens and the end-cap(glass ferrule). By changing the back focal length of C-lens, the position of the waist can be adjusted within a certain range, resulting in different working distances.
