How to Achieve Optimal Collimation with Fiber Optics
Collimated light is required for many fiber optic applications. Using the proper setup, fiber optic collimating lenses or ball lenses, and some optical know-how, you can achieve optimal collimation.
Does light entering a multimode fiber undergo a polarization change during propagation through the fiber? If so, can the emerging light be linearly polarized by placing a polarizer at the fiber’s output end?
I would like to view the side profile of a 140μm diameter glass fiber under a microscope. I am having some difficulty resolving the fiber’s border, is there any special lighting technique to use?
