AOA collimation trombone assembly

Product Description

AOA (Adaptive Optics Associates) Collimation Trombone Assembly

This is a precision adjustable optical assembly designed to collimate (make parallel) the diverging output from an optical fiber. The “trombone” design features a sliding or threaded barrel that allows continuous, fine adjustment of the collimating lens position relative to the fiber tip, enabling optimal beam collimation for a wide range of working distances and wavelengths.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Manufacturer: AOA (Adaptive Optics Associates), a leader in precision photonics

• Function: Adjustable fiber collimator (fiber-to-free-space)

• Design: Trombone-style linear slide or rotating helicoid for smooth focus adjustment

• Fiber Connection: Likely FC/PC or SMA 905 (specify if known)

• Lens: High-quality collimating lens (achromatic or single-element)

• Mounting: External threads or housing for integration into optical mounts

• Applications: Free-space optical coupling, laser beam launching, interferometry

Applications:

• Free-Space Optical Links: Launching light from a fiber into optical systems

• Laser Diode Beam Conditioning: Collimating output from pigtailed laser diodes

• Interferometry & Sensing: Providing a stable, adjustable collimated source

• Photonics Prototyping: Versatile collimation for R&D and test setups
