Description
Fibers and Probes
Ocean Optics offers the most versatile range of optical fibers in the industry, designed to deliver years of reliable and accurate results. Whether you need a single patch cord, a custom assembly, or an OEM build, Ocean Optics has the expertise to meet your requirements. Our commitment to quality ensures that each fiber assembly is crafted with precision, providing you with the confidence to tackle any application, no matter how complex.
Our comprehensive selection of fiber accessories, fixtures, and assembly kits allows for seamless integration into even the most challenging setups. These tools are designed to help you connect and manipulate fibers with ease, ensuring optimal performance in your specific application. By choosing Ocean Optics, you are investing in a solution that is both flexible and dependable.
Our fibers assemblies can be used with Ocean Optics spectrometers as well as third-party devices.
Anatomy of an Assembly
At the heart of each fiber assembly is a core made of pure silica, with the core diameter being a crucial factor to consider when selecting an optical fiber. This core is surrounded by a doped-fluorine silica cladding, followed by a buffer material that enhances the fiber's strength and minimizes stray light. Typically, polyimide is used as the buffer, though aluminum or acrylate may also be employed in certain assemblies. The entire structure is then protected by a jacketing, which provides strain relief and safeguards the fiber.
For our off-the-shelf Premium-grade "Q" Optical Fiber Assemblies, stainless steel silicone monocoil is the standard jacketing. However, various other jacketing options are available for custom assemblies. Each assembly is terminated with precision SMA 905 connectors, ensuring perfect alignment with the spectrometer's slit for optimal performance. Captive end caps further protect the fiber tips from scratches and contaminants.
Assembly Identifiers
Our optical fiber and probe assemblies are meticulously labeled to provide clear identification. Each assembly features a boot collar color that indicates the fiber type and its most efficient wavelength range. A white product label displays the product name and item code, while a band color signifies the core diameter. These identifiers ensure that you can easily determine the specifications and optimal usage of your fiber assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ocean Optics optical fibers are constructed with a core of pure silica, surrounded by doped-fluorine silica cladding. A buffer material, often polyimide, aluminum, or acrylate, is applied to strengthen the fiber and reduce stray light. The assembly is then jacketed, typically with stainless steel silicone monocoil, to protect the fiber and provide strain relief.
Ocean Optics optical fibers should be handled with care, avoiding tight bends or winding. They should be stored in a cool, dry place to ensure longevity and performance.
The boot collar color on Ocean Optics fiber assemblies corresponds to the fiber type and its most efficient wavelength range, helping users identify the appropriate fiber for their application.
The band color on an Ocean Optics fiber assembly indicates the diameter of the fiber's core, allowing users to quickly identify the core size they are working with.
The standard jacketing for Ocean Optics Premium-grade 'Q' Optical Fiber Assemblies is stainless steel silicone monocoil. The assemblies are terminated with Precision SMA 905 Connectors, which are precisely aligned to the spectrometer’s slit to ensure concentricity.
Ocean Optics optical fiber assemblies are labeled with a white product label that includes the product name and item code. They also have a band color indicating core diameter and a boot collar color indicating fiber type and wavelength range.
The most efficient wavelength ranges for different fiber types in Ocean Optics assemblies are as follows: Gray UV-VIS XSR is 180-800 nm, Gray UV/SR-VIS is 200-1100 nm, Blue UV-VIS is 300-1100 nm, and Red VIS-NIR is unspecified in the provided data.
