GRIN lensed fiber
Product description
Our lensed fibers are micro-optics designed to focus or collimate light. It appears as an optical fiber (250 µm) with a several millimeters stripped extremity. Lensed fibers work by adapting the mode field diamater to improve the mode matching between the waveguide and the fiber. This technology provides highly efficient couplings and collimating in a cost-effective way. Furthermore, lensed fibers can be inserted into different types of optical connectors or ferrules. Lensed fibers developed by IDIL Fibres Optiques constitute an excellent way to couple up optical fibers and lasers for example. These lensed fibers also lead to several applications in the areas of switches or laser diodes among others.
- Micro-optics technology
- -50 dB return loss
- Mode field diameter (5µm – mm range)
- High power handling
- Reliable performance in harsh environments
- SM, PM fibers
