Features:
Elliptical light spot
Anti-reflection light application
Application:
980nm semiconductor laser
The output beam of an LD chip coupled at the 980nm wavelength typically has an elliptical light spot. The ratio of the major to minor axes of this ellipse is generally proportional to the output power, usually ranging from 3 to 5. For high-power LDs, this ratio can exceed 10 and may even reach over 50 in extreme cases.
Obviously, such a beam is difficult to couple into an optical fiber. To accommodate the shape of the LD output beam, a wedge-shaped fiber lens can be used. By aligning the two large wedge surfaces with the direction of the larger divergence angle of the LD, the coupling efficiency of the LD light into the fiber can be significantly improved.
