Calculates a combination of 2 lenses from the catalog with rotational symmetry for coupling a single mode laser diode beam into a single mode fiber optics. The first lens collimates the beam and the second one focus it in the fiber optics.

1) Laser diode and fiber optics parameters: enter the 4 requested parameters (divergence at FWHM of the laser diode beam, wavelength and fiber optic mode radius).

2) Beam caracteristics and optimal parameters: parameters of the theoretical optimal system are then calculated (optimal magnification of the collimating/focusing system and maximum theoretical coupling efficiency) as well as the beam caracteristics used for the calculations.

3) Possible systems with components fom the catalogs...: relevant systems using lenses from the catalog are proposed in a table displaying their main caracteristics. Each of them can be uploaded in the "Advanced Calculations" tool for analyzis or optimization.

4) List of “Handy Calculations” processed in the use case...: the list of "Handy Calculations" processed in the use case are displayed for direct use and better understanding.

Further details are provided in the contextual support (beige buttons above).
