Custom Fiber Bundles - Optran® Multi-Fiber Optical Assemblies

Name: Custom Fiber Bundles - Optran® Multi-Fiber Optical Assemblies
Brand: Ceramoptec
Availability: InStock

Description

Custom fiber bundles based on Optran® optical fibers are designed for applications requiring the transmission, collection or distribution of light across multiple optical channels. Bundles consist of multiple optical fibers arranged within a common structure and are configured according to application-specific optical, mechanical and geometrical requirements.

Fiber bundles can be manufactured using all Optran® fiber types, including UV, VIS-NIR and broadband fibers with different OH levels and numerical apertures. The achievable spectral range and transmission characteristics depend on the selected fiber type.

Detailed specifications, including attenuation behavior and material properties, are available in the corresponding Optran® fiber listings (e.g. UV, UVNS, UVNSS, WF, WFNS, HUV, HWF, PUV, PWF, WFGe).

Bundle configurations can be adapted to different system architectures, including compact bundle geometries for light transmission, spatially resolved light collection or distribution into multiple individual fiber channels. Depending on system requirements, assemblies can be realized as structured bundles, multi-leg configurations or with individual fiber breakout for separate routing of individual fibers.

A wide range of customization options is available, including number of fibers, fiber arrangement, bundle geometry, cable length and connectorization. Protective tubing and jacketing materials such as stainless steel, PTFE or polymer coatings can be selected based on environmental and mechanical requirements.

Fiber end preparation can be adapted to the application, including polishing and application-specific end-face geometries for optimized optical coupling and system integration.

Optran® fiber bundles are developed and manufactured with control over the complete process chain, from preform manufacturing and fiber drawing to final assembly. This enables alignment of fiber design and assembly parameters with application requirements, ensuring consistent optical performance and reproducibility.

Fiber bundles can be configured for applications involving elevated optical intensities. Design parameters such as fiber type, core diameter and bundle configuration are selected based on system-specific optical conditions.

Typical applications include spectroscopy systems, analytical instrumentation, medical and life science devices, semiconductor processing and industrial sensing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What defines the optical performance of a fiber bundle?

The optical performance of a fiber bundle is primarily determined by the selected fiber type, including core material, OH content, numerical aperture and attenuation characteristics. The bundle itself does not alter the intrinsic transmission properties but defines how light is distributed, collected or transmitted across multiple channels.

What is the difference between a fiber bundle and a multi-leg assembly?

A fiber bundle consists of multiple fibers combined within a common structure. In a multi-leg configuration, this structure is divided into separate cable legs, each containing one or more fibers, allowing structured routing within the system.

How is a fiber bundle configured for a specific application?

Fiber bundles are configured by defining parameters such as number of fibers, spatial arrangement, bundle geometry, fiber type and end configuration. Depending on the application, the design can support homogeneous light transmission, spatially resolved signal acquisition or controlled distribution into multiple optical paths

How are fiber end faces prepared in bundle assemblies?

Fiber end faces can be prepared according to application requirements, including flat polishing or application-specific geometries. The end-face quality and geometry influence coupling efficiency, back reflections and system integration.

Can fiber bundles be used in high optical intensity applications?

Fiber bundles can be designed for applications involving elevated optical intensities. The suitability depends on parameters such as fiber type, core diameter and system design. These parameters are selected based on the optical and thermal conditions of the application.
