Its core functions are to change the optical transmission path, optimize the beam pattern, improve the system coupling efficiency, and adapt to the imaging and sensing needs of different environments. Through mechanical grinding and polishing, the end face of the optical fiber is processed into shapes such as cone, wedge, and sphere.
