Types of Collimator Arrays We Offer

Fiber Array with Lens

The collimator arrays are based on high-precision 2D fiber arrays, each equipped with a microlens array formed using advanced lithography techniques. Every individual fiber is coupled with a microlens, achieving precise alignment and beam shaping. This integration allows for high density, compact design, and excellent consistency—resulting in enhanced coupling efficiency and reduced optical losses. The structure supports miniaturised applications where space, alignment accuracy, and optical clarity are critical.

This approach ensures that each collimator array provides reliable output with tightly controlled divergence, making it suitable for demanding applications. The synergy between fiber and lens arrays not only boosts performance but also allows scalable configurations for multi-channel systems and compact photonic devices.

Key Features of Collimator Arrays

These collimator arrays are manufactured with a strong focus on accuracy and performance, incorporating a number of standout features that make them suitable for professional-grade optical systems.

1. High Precision Positioning of Substrate

The base of each collimator array uses substrates with extremely high positional accuracy. This ensures consistent optical alignment between fibers and microlenses, reducing coupling losses and improving overall beam uniformity.

2. Artisan to Axis

Each array is assembled using expert processes that prioritise alignment accuracy between the optical axis of the fiber and the microlens. This craftsmanship allows for precise directionality and minimal deviation, even in complex photonic systems.

3. Custom Design Service

We understand that optical systems differ by project. That’s why we offer flexible design options for our collimator arrays, including custom pitch, fiber types, lens configurations, and housing options. Whether it’s for research use or large-scale production, our team can deliver configurations to match your requirements.

From material selection to pitch tolerance and connector integration, each array is assembled with care to meet high industrial and research standards.

Applications of Collimator Arrays

These collimator arrays are built to serve a wide range of optical and photonic applications. Their ability to deliver focused, low-loss light paths makes them essential components in the following areas:

1. Fiber Sensing

Collimator arrays play a vital role in fiber optic sensing setups. They provide stable beam collimation for precise signal transmission and reception, supporting various environmental and structural monitoring systems. Their stable output makes them well-suited for interferometric and distributed sensing applications.

2. Optical Computing

As photonic integration becomes more prevalent, collimator arrays offer the compact form factor and alignment precision needed for optical computing platforms. They help guide and condition light signals across multiple channels, enabling high-speed and low-latency processing.

3. Fiber Optic Communication

In communication systems, maintaining low-loss coupling and precise beam alignment is crucial. Our collimator arrays ensure signal stability and consistency across dense fiber networks, including multiplexed systems and next-generation data transmission platforms.
