Collimating Lenses

COE Optics' collimating lenses narrow a beam of particles or waves. To narrow can mean either to cause the directions of motion to become more aligned in a specific direction (i.e., make collimated light or parallel rays), or to cause the spatial cross-section of the beam to become smaller (beam limiting device).

Collimating lens is a lens which narrows a beam of particles or waves. To narrow can mean either to cause the directions of motion to become more aligned in a specific direction (i.e., make collimated light or parallel rays), or to cause the spatial cross-section of the beam to become smaller (beam limiting device).

COE Optics is focusing on supplying various collimating lens, including plano-covex collimating lens, or bi-convex collimating lens, which are made by sapphire, BK7, fused silicon, or other UV/IR material.

Main application of Collimating lens

• Display Measurement Applications

Collimating lenses are for example extremely useful when measuring displays, which include color analysis, white point adjustment, flicker, response time gamma, etc. The optics is designed in such a way that alignment of the measurement spot can be optimized with stable measurement data and high repeatability as a result. This all contributes to the development and production of high-quality displays.

• Lighting Measurement Applications

When measuring diffuse surfaces of light sources such as OLED panels, similar parameters including spectral power distribution, color and flicker can be determined depending on the measurement device with collimating lens.

• Analysis Applications

Collimating lens is used where for example (spectral) transmission data of translucent materials is important for managing production processes. The advantage of collimating lenses attached to light sources and/or spectrometers is that light enters the sample under one specific angle only, with almost no variation. Collimating lens contributes to stable and repeatable measurement results.
