Micro Optics for Laser Diodes
From: FISBA AG
FISBA manufactures custom micro-optics for laser diodes, which include FACs, single-emitter SACs and SAC arrays and FBTs. For diode lasers to reach their full potential, output beams must be shaped to optimize optical quality. FISBA’s components enable this precise collimation and beam shaping. FACs collimate the beam in the fast axis, but to fully collimate the diode output beam, they should be combined with other micro-optical components.
