Lensed Fibers
Lensed fibers are often the method of choice for interfacing optical fiber to active devices and waveguides. Lensing technology provides highly efficient coupling while consuming a fraction of the space and costs of bulk optic alternatives. Fiber lenses are typically created to match the emission profiles of the receiving or transmitting device to which they are coupled.
OpTek Systems’ laser lensing offers unparalleled performance in the production of lensed optical fiber. Processing of PM, SM, and MM fiber is fast, accurate, and reliable, with processing times at a fraction of that required for grind and polish, and first-pass yield at 99.9%.
