Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 1080nm Large Beam Fiber Collimator?

A 1080nm Large Beam Fiber Collimator is an optical device designed to collimate (make parallel) the output beam from an optical fiber at a central wavelength of 1080nm. It is optimized for high power handling and is commonly used in fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers, and test and measurement instrumentation.

What are the key features of the DK Photonics 1080nm Large Beam Fiber Collimator?

Key features include low insertion loss, high power handling capability (up to 30W or more), customizable beam diameter and fiber type, availability in both polarization-maintaining (PM) and non-PM versions, high reliability, excellent temperature stability, and cost-effectiveness.

What applications are suitable for the 1080nm Large Beam Fiber Collimator?

This collimator is ideal for high power fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers, test and measurement systems, and various instrumentation applications where precise beam collimation and high power handling are required.

Can the beam diameter and fiber type be customized?

Yes, DK Photonics offers customization for both beam diameter (such as 3.0±1.0mm or 5.0±1.0mm, and other sizes upon request) and fiber type, including PM and non-PM fibers. Customers can specify their requirements when ordering.

What is the recommended configuration for high power applications?

For high power applications, it is recommended to use the collimator without connectors and to splice the fiber directly. This minimizes insertion loss and maximizes power handling, as connectors can limit the maximum pass optical power to 2W.

How do I order a custom 1080nm Large Beam Fiber Collimator?

To order a custom collimator, provide the correct part number (P/N) based on your required specifications (wavelength, power, beam diameter, fiber type, jacket, and length). Include a detailed description of your requirements when contacting DK Photonics for a quote or inquiry.

What is the insertion loss and how does it change with connectors?

The typical insertion loss (IL) is low for the device without connectors. However, adding a connector increases the IL by 0.3 dB, reduces the return loss (RL) by 5 dB, and decreases the extinction ratio (ER) by 2 dB for PM types. Additionally, the maximum pass optical power is limited to 2W when connectors are used.
