Abstract
A collimator array includes a plurality of collimators. Each collimator includes a lens and an optical fiber optically coupled to the lens. The lens is arranged so that its optical axis is parallel to one another. In each collimator, a core axis of the optical fiber is positioned relative to the optical axis of the lens so that an optical beam is emitted from a predetermined position at a predetermined angle.
