It is commonly used as a basic element in in-line fiber optic components such as optical isolators, circulators, switches, WDMs (Wavelength Division Multiplexers), and for signal processing in fiber optic communication systems.
What are the key features of the DK Photonics SM Fiber Collimator Series?
The DK Photonics SM Fiber Collimator Series offers low insertion loss, low polarization dependent loss (PDL), a compact design, wide operating wavelength range, high reliability, and stability. It also features high-quality AR coating for high power handling and is suitable for integration into various fiber optic components.
Can the DK Photonics 1064nm Fiber Collimator be customized for specific requirements?
Yes, DK Photonics welcomes custom orders for their fiber collimators. Customers can specify custom fiber pigtails, different operating wavelengths, power handling capabilities, lens sizes, and other specific requirements. Detailed descriptions should be provided when requesting a custom solution.
What should I consider when ordering a fiber collimator with or without connectors?
When ordering a fiber collimator with connectors, note that the insertion loss (IL) will be 0.3dB higher and the return loss (RL) will be 5dB lower compared to units without connectors. Additionally, the maximum power transmitted through the connector should be less than 2W. For bare fiber pigtails, connectors are not recommended.
