Undergrad Help Needed for Lens Selection for Fiber optics

Click For 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 this a coincidence?... (distances between planets)'

I'm not a student or graduate in Astrophysics.. Wish i were though... I was playing with distances between planets... I found that Mars, Ceres, Jupiter and Saturn have somthing in common... They are in a kind of ratio with another.. They all got a difference about 1,84 to 1,88x the distance from the previous planet, sub-planet. On average 1,845x. I thought this can be coincidential. So i took the big moons of Jupiter and Saturn to do the same thing jupiter; Io, Europa and Ganymede have a...
