Abstract |
Fiber couplers serve as crucial components in modern optical systems, facilitating the efficient
coupling of light into and out of an optical fiber. This thesis delves into the world of
fiber collimators, exploring their fundamental principles, different designs, aberrations, and
the critical role they play in optical fiber applications.
The thesis explains the basics principles guiding fiber collimators, shedding light on their
design, starting with a thorough investigation of the fundamentals. The adventure continues
into the world of geometrical optics, where optical phenomena are clarified and help
to understand how light behaves when passing through an optical system. This thesis examination
of the aberrations present in fiber collimation systems is a key component. This
research analyzes the aberrations that might impair optical performance and discusses methods
to lessen and fix them, improving the accuracy and dependability of optical coupling.
The study also explores the world of optical fibers, clarifying their properties, divisions, and
useful mechanics.
The use of sophisticated software tools for thorough analysis and optimization of fiber
coupling systems is also explored in this thesis. Modern software ”Optica” helps with the
simulation, modeling, and testing of collimators, allowing engineers and researchers to create
designs with high levels of efficiency and accuracy.
Additionally, this thesis introduces two developed fiber coupling systems that were made
with authentic Thorlabs optical fibers. These practical applications highlight the seamless
fusion of theory and practice and show the direct relevance of the knowledge acquired in
this thesis to real-world settings.
