Abstract
This application discloses a collimator block, a collimation assembly, and a laser. A first mounting member is provided with a through-hole mounting via. The mounting via includes a first via segment and a second via segment. The first via segment is used to mount a collimation lens. The second via segment is used to mount an optical fiber. A coefficient of thermal expansion of the second mounting member is less than a coefficient of thermal expansion of the first mounting member.
