Designed to collimate or focus light exiting an optical fiber to a desired beam diameter, the collimators could be used with laser diodes, photodiodes, acoustic-optic modulators and other fiber optic devices. Focus guides thread into the collimator, refocusing the beam at a given distance. Collimators and focus guides can be used as matched pairs to couple light in and out of optical devices.

The ruggedised modules would be manufactured to accept SMA, ST, FC or machined ferrule style connectors. Assembled and preset to meet required specifications, all collimators and focus guides could be adjusted to provide flexibility necessary for customers’ specified set ups.

Collimators would be available in three sizes: the macro collimator for optical fiber core sizes larger than 800μm diameter, the mid-size collimator for sizes up to 800μm diameter, and the micro collimators for fibres up to 400μm diameter. Focus guides would be available for the macro and mid-size collimators.
