Compact fiber array design with a high number of outgoing collimated beams. Selection of a suitable MLA is based on customer requirements for the diameter of the outgoing beams, the type of fibers used and the operating wavelength. The fiber assembly with MLA can be glued into the flange for easier handling in the application.
Advantages
- Dimensions and spacing of the matrix array according to customer specifications
- Active fiber optic alignment to MLA
- Compatible with SM, PM, MM (STEP/GRIN) fibers
Applications
- Optical MEMS switch
- Optical multi-channel rotary couplers
- Sensor systems

We can design a suitable microlens array (MLA) according to your requirements. For the calculation we need to know the following parameters:
- Operating wavelength
- Fiber type
- Working distance
- Bundle width
