The goal of this project is to provide an open, accessible alternative that can be built using readily available components and a simple machined brass part, while maintaining the precision required for efficient coupling into single-mode and other fibers. The design emphasizes flexibility, reproducibility, and ease of modification, making it suitable both as a practical light source and as a platform for exploring fiber-optic technologies.
