I Help Needed for Lens Selection for Fiber optics

AI Thread Summary
For collimating light from a fiber optic cable with a 30-degree half acceptance angle for fluorescence applications, selecting the appropriate lens is crucial. Both plano-convex and double-convex lenses can be effective, but aspheric lenses may provide better performance by reducing spherical aberrations. Users are encouraged to research lens options online for more insights. Gaining a foundational understanding of lens characteristics will facilitate more informed discussions and assistance. Proper lens selection will enhance the efficiency of the optical setup.

I am using a fiber optic cable through which led light propogate, fiber's half acceptance agle is 30 degree. I want to make the light (diverging)comes out of fiber into collimated beam and this collimated beam will pass through filters, sample and will be used for Fluoroscence application. hope you got the instrumentation set up. Which type of lens would best work for this application. Either Plano convex or Double convex , aspheric ! Please help me to find the best solution.
Thanks in advance

Google can be your friend here. Try googling "lenses for fibre optic coupling". I got many interesting hits. Come back to PF with a bit of knowledge gained and you will get much more useful help from us.
 
Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Is Gravity an entropic property like Surface Tension'

Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
