Aspherical cylindrical Fast Axis Collimator FAC lenses are small in size. Each FAC lens has a large numerical aperture that makes it perfect for collimating the very divergent light coming from a laser diode in the fast axis direction.
A lens is a transmissive optical tool that employs refraction to focus or disperse a light beam. A compound lens is made up of multiple simple lenses (elements), typically aligned along a common axis, as opposed to a simple lens, which is one solid piece of transparent material.
Lenses are created by grinding, polishing, or molding materials like glass or plastic into the desired shape. In contrast to a prism, which just refracts light without focusing it, a lens can focus light to create an image. Lenses are also devices that focus or disperse waves and radiation other than visible light, such as explosive lenses, microwave lenses, electron lenses, and acoustic lenses.
Lenses are a common component of telescopes, binoculars, and cameras, among other image devices. Additionally, they are utilized as visual aids in spectacles to treat vision problems like myopia and hypermetropia.
Because a double-convex lens has a lentil-like shape, the word “lens” derives from the Latin word “lies,” which is the name of the lentil seed. A geometric shape also has the name of the lentil.
Some academics contend that the archaeological evidence shows that lenses were widely used in antiquity for several millennia. A rock crystal artifact from the 7th century BCE known as the “Nimrud lens” may or may not have been used as a magnifying or burning glass. Some people claim that certain hieroglyphs from Egypt show “simple glass meniscal lenses.”
The Global FAC lenses market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Fast-axis collimation (FAC) lenses are produced using a groundbreaking technique devised by LIMO, a supplier of high-precision micro-optics for laser systems. These lenses are suitable for all varieties of diode-pumped laser sources.
FAC lenses are anticipated to experience yet another significant increase in batch size as a result of their use in additive manufacturing (3D printing) and lidar (light detection and ranging) systems, in addition to their current uses in the aerospace industry, medical technology, photovoltaics, display manufacturing, and materials processing.
