How to align two fiber optic collimators
Misalignment, typically the largest source of loss, can be minimized using the alignment and stabilization techniques described in this video. In this demonstration, the first fiber is single mode. Two collimators, inserted into a fiber optic setup, provide free-space access to the beam. The second. The collimators aligned by the invention may be freely paired with each other (for example, within a sleeve or housing also containing an optical element located between the two collimators). FiberPorts can be used to provide a stable platform for coupling light into and out of FC/PC, FC/APC, or SMA terminated fiber with five or six directional adjustments.
