Abstract
The optical devices described herein include a lens arrangement for coupling light between light sources and optical fibers with a reduced size compared to the use of optical waveguides, while also allowing for the use of power sensitive optical components, such as components with lower power density configurations. The lens arrangements include a collimating lens, a focusing lens, and at least one optical component positioned between the collimating lens and the focusing lens.
