Micro Laser Systems further expand range with Fixed Wavelength and Fused Silica collimators
The Micro Laser Systems‘ FC Series of standard collimators are designed specifically for single mode fibre, polarisation maintaining fibre, and fibre laser applications requiring a pure Gaussian beam. The company has further expanded its range by offering several new designs.
Fixed Wavelength
The FCX20 series is based on the standard FC20 Fibre Collimator but fixed at one wavelength. They offer a highly collimated, Gaussian beam with low wavefront error and are readily available in several popular wavelengths. The FCX20 comes with a 3 mm cable terminated with an FC or FC/APC connector.
Fused Silica
The FC5S and FC10S Fused Silica versions are of a multi-element design that delivers a highly collimated, Gaussian beam with low wavefront error. The lockable adjustable focus feature enables focusing a very tight spot at a great distance, or expansion of the beam to illuminate an area.
Micro Laser Systems is also able to manufacture custom collimators, being responsible for the whole project from design, through manufacturing, to final assembly and test. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

New SWIR laser collimators from Micro Laser Systems
With the introduction of a 2 µm optical coating, Micro Laser Systems (µLS) have significantly broadened the available wavelengths their standard FC laser collimators can operate in. µLS can now offer collimators in four wavebands that cover the 350 to 2300 nm spectral range.
Designed specifically for single mode fibre, polarisation maintaining fibre, and fibre laser applications requiring a pure Gaussian beam, the µLS FC collimators deliver a very clean output with no diffraction patterns or beam distortions from apertures up to 45 mm in diameter.
Micro Laser Systems’ FC Series collimators can be used with any commercially available fibre-coupled laser, including Ar, YAG, TiS, HeNe, or DPSS systems.
For more information, visit our Micro Laser Systems (µLS) pages, or contact us.
Micro Laser Systems expand range with UV, RGB and custom collimators
The Micro Laser Systems‘ FC Series of standard collimators are designed specifically for single mode fibre, polarisation maintaining fibre, and fibre laser applications requiring a pure Gaussian beam. The company has now added to this range by offering three new designs and a customisation service.
Optimised for UV applications in glass or fused silica, the FC5-UV has been specially coated for the 350 to 410 nm wavelength range. The lens system is also well corrected to give excellent beam quality and minimise fluorescence. An apochromatic collimator has also been developed for simultaneous transmission of RGB wavelengths without any distortion. Applications include projection systems, flow cytometry and microscopy.
Completing the line-up is the Fibre Focuser. Based on the FC10, it can accommodate various focusing optics and can therefore be optimised for single mode fibre, polarisation maintaining (PM) fibre, or large mode area (LMA) fibre. The multi-element design provides a tightly focused spot with good working distances. Custom Fibre Focusers can be produced for any focal length, spot size, or particular wavelength. They can also include other optical elements such as filters, polarisers, or windows.
Micro Laser Systems is well positioned to manufacture custom collimators as they are responsible for the whole project: from design, through manufacturing, to final assembly and test. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Micro Laser Systems offer Stabilised Free Space Lasers and Fibre Collimators
Micro Laser Systems offer their OEM range of high performance Lepton IV free space lasers in both standard and wavelength stabilised versions. The modules are ideal for existing and new applications in a variety of fields such as microscopy, spectroscopy, material characterisation and analysis, scanners and sensors, correlators, interferometers, microlithography, reprographics, flow cytometry, ophthalmology, dermatology, atomic clocks, laser pumps, and telecoms.
Over 30 different laser wavelengths are available with diffraction-limited circular Gaussian beams ranging from 1 mm to 6 mm in diameter, and single transverse and longitudinal modes. Wavelengths range from 375 to 1600 nm, and powers up to 150 mW are available.
Fibre collimators are of increasing importance to the company’s product line-up. The FC Series of collimators are designed specifically for singlemode fibre, polarisation maintaining fibre and fibre laser applications that can generate a pure Gaussian beam. Aperture sizes from 5 to 45 mm are available with a very clean output and no diffraction patterns or beam distortions. The output stays Gaussian no matter the distance and the adjustable output is ideal for tuning the desired wavelength to the best collimation.
Three wavelength regions cover from 375 to 2000 nm for use with Ar, YAG, Ti-Sapphire, HeNe, DPSS, and any commercially available fibre coupled diode laser.
Please contact us for more details.
