Beam Collimators are Lens Systems that transform a strongly diverging light beam into a collimated beam, i.e., a beam where light propagates essentially only in one direction, and the beam divergence is weak. Beam Collimators typically contain some kind of Focusing Lens, or sometimes a curved Mirror, and usually some opto-mechanics for stable mounting and possibly adjustment. Beam Expanders can be custom built or they are also available as pre-assembled optical devices.
