| 01. Fabry-Perot Etalon
| |
| Fabry-Perot etalons are made-up of two partially reflecting mirrors parallel to each other. They are often used as frequency comb filters. |
| 02. Fiber-coupling of LEDs depends on emitter type
| |
| Approaches differ for coupling edge- and surface-emitting LEDs into optical fiber, and the Lagrange invariant plays an important role in designing fiber-coupling optics. |
| 03. Fiber-coupling of Laser Diode
| |
| Three differents configurations based on cylindrical lenses for efficient coupling of laser diodes into multimode and single mode optical fibers... |
| 04. Fiber coupling efficiency calculation
| |
| A simple model can estimate coupling efficiency of laser diodes or LED directly to the optical fibers (butt-coupling)... |
| 05. Laser Diode Collimation
| |
| The collimation of the highly divergent astigmatic beam coming from the laser diode requires a pair of cylindrical microlenses perpendicular to each other...
|
| 06. Optical Pumping with Laser Diode
| |
| In recent years, a pronounced trend toward laser diode pumping of solid state lasers has gained considerable interest... |
| 07. Axicons
| |
| Axicon are optical component which can generate Bessel beams. Some basic properties of axicon and their uses are related in the following application note... |
| 08. Aplanatic Points Of Ball Lenses
| |
| From the theory of aplanatic points of a sphere it follows that there exist two points such that a spherical wave from first point is transformed into a spherical wave diverging apparently from second. |
| 09. Materials & Legend
| |
| Short list of common materials used to produce our optical components with some optical properties & list of all legend code use in the PDF files. |

| |
| A high-brightness QCW pump source using a pre-aligned GRIN lens array with refractive beam correction
|
| 11. Beam shaping improves diode-laser performance
| |
| Doric Lenses took part in ESA Living Planet Program on a project involving laser diode bar stack beam-shaping.
Some results of this project are outlined in an article published into Laser Focus World (Fri Jun 19 06:37:00 CDT 2009).
