This is the ElectroniCast Global Forecast of consumption forecast of
collimating lens assemblies in commercial optical communication passive and
active/integrated (hybrid) components. This report provides the collimator
market forecasts in terms of Quantity (number of units), Average Selling
Prices (ASPs) per unit and Consumption Values.
Collimator lenses (and lens assemblies) are used in a variety of photonic
products; however this report presents the use of micro-sized collimator lens
assemblies, which are used specifically in optical communication components,
such as some of the following:
Modulators
Attenuators
Transmitter
Pump laser modules
Photonic Switch/Optical Cross Connects
Wavelength Selective Switch, ROADMs
Isolators
Interleavers
Circulators
Expanded-beam connector assemblies
Optical filter modules, DWDM, Tunable Filters
Optical sensors
Optical signal processing
Integrated/hybrid packaged modules
Other active and passive components
The Fiber Optics industry is in a growth mode. We are now seeing the
expansion, such “Green-Field” (new-builds), and DWDM use and the
continuance of the “lighting-up” of “dark fiber”. The
fiber optics industry is now observing an impressive increase in the
consumption of the optical elements and components that facilitate a strong
environment for the use of collimator lenses (and lens assemblies).
Most of this activity is driven by the expansion of fiber optic transport and
access networks, mainly in telecommunications. The private data
communication, cable TV, as well as the specialty and instrumentation market
segments, also will drive the market of lenses used for collimating the
optical signal (light).
Fiber optic collimators have been used in conjunction with optical isolators,
optical circulators and any other passive or active optical function, which
requires converting divergent beams of radiation or particles, such as light
rays, into parallel beams. Fiber collimators are widely used in a variety of
optical applications, as noted previously.
Commercially available fiber collimator arrays have typically implemented
separate lenses, which has increased the cost of the array. For example,
one commercially available collimator array has utilized a V-groove array
substrate with individually aligned graded-index (GRIN) micro-lens and fibers
in each V-groove.
Planar micro-lens arrays are one or two-dimensional (2-D) lens arrays formed
on a substrate and may include numerous microscopic lenses in various sizes
and patterns. Commercially available PMLAs are usually graded-index (GRIN),
aspheric or Fresnel lenses.
The consumption value of collimator lens assemblies in 2011 was led by their
use in passive optical components, such as couplers, filters, isolators,
circulator, certain types of connectors, switch elements and numerous others,
even “hybrid” components, which incorporate two or more components
in one package. Also, several miscellaneous active and integrated (hybrid)
components with multiple (two or more) functions, even passive and active
combined in the same package are increasing in consumption value.
During the forecast period, bandwidth expansion demands will push for new
network links, incorporating Metro/Access, Long Haul, WDM, OADM and other
system-based deployments.
