Ocean Optics Premium Optical Fiber Assemblies

Description

Premium Optical Fiber Assemblies for Spectroscopy and Optical Sensing

Ocean Optics Premium-Grade Optical Fiber Assemblies are engineered for high-performance light transmission in spectroscopy, optical sensing, biomedical imaging, analytical instrumentation, and industrial process applications. Designed for seamless integration with Ocean Optics and third-party spectrometers, light sources, and optical systems, these fiber assemblies deliver reliable optical performance across UV, VIS, NIR, and mid-IR wavelength ranges.

Available in multiple fiber materials including silica, fluoride glass, and chalcogenide glass, the assemblies support spectral ranges from 180 nm to 6000 nm. Configurable core diameters from 8 µm to 1000 µm provide flexibility for a broad range of optical coupling, sensing, and spectroscopy applications.

Each fiber assembly features precision-engineered construction with pure silica cores, doped-fluorine silica cladding, optimized buffer materials, and durable protective jacketing to maximize optical throughput, mechanical stability, and long-term reliability. Standard Premium-grade “Q” assemblies utilize stainless steel silicone monocoil jacketing for enhanced durability in laboratory and industrial environments.

Precision SMA 905 connectors ensure accurate optical alignment and efficient coupling to spectrometers and optical instrumentation. Captive end caps help protect fiber terminations from contamination and physical damage during operation and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in the construction of Ocean Optics optical fibers?

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.

How should Ocean Optics optical fibers be handled and stored?

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.

What is the significance of the boot collar color on Ocean Optics fiber assemblies?

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.

What does the band color on an Ocean Optics fiber assembly indicate?

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.

What are the standard jacketing and connectors used in Ocean Optics Premium-grade 'Q' Optical Fiber Assemblies?

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.

How are Ocean Optics optical fiber assemblies labeled?

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.

What are the most efficient wavelength ranges for different fiber types in Ocean Optics assemblies?

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.
