Product Description
Optics Plus X-ZAR #12 Multi-Wavelength Collimating Lens Holder
This is a specialized adjustable collimator assembly designed to convert the diverging output of an optical fiber into a collimated (parallel) free-space beam. The “Multi-Wavelength” designation indicates its lens is corrected for use across a broad spectrum, making it versatile for various laser diodes, LEDs, or white light sources.
