Multi-bandwidth collimator

A collimator for use at multiple wavelengths includes an optical fiber and a gradient index lens positioned at a constant distance with respect to an end of the optical fiber. The gradient index lens has a chromatic aberration at a selected pitch less than 0.01 over a selected range of the infrared...

Summary:A collimator for use at multiple wavelengths includes an optical fiber and a gradient index lens positioned at a constant distance with respect to an end of the optical fiber. The gradient index lens has a chromatic aberration at a selected pitch less than 0.01 over a selected range of the infrared spectral region.
