Is it possible to couple a 200μm core fiber into a 50μm core fiber by using a 4x magnifier/reducer?
Coupling a 200μm core fiber into a 50μm core fiber is achievable using a 4x magnifier/reducer or a single lens with the formula ## \frac{m}{b}=\frac{1}{4} ##, where 'b' represents the object distance and 'm' the image distance. The primary challenge lies in the precise alignment of the focused beam onto the 50μm input, particularly in the z-direction. Successful implementation requires careful attention to these alignment details to ensure optimal coupling efficiency.
PREREQUISITESOptical engineers, fiber optic technicians, and researchers involved in fiber coupling and alignment processes will benefit from this discussion.
