Fibers and Probes

1. Core Diameter

The core diameter fundamentally influences how light is transmitted.

• Large Cores (e.g., 100um, 200µm): Excellent for high-power industrial laser delivery and applications where easy light coupling is essential. They offer greater alignment tolerances, simplifying connections and reducing costs.

• Small Cores (e.g., 25µm, 50µm ): Designed for high-speed, long-distance communication. They provide superior bandwidth and lower signal loss, making them the standard for telecommunications and precise sensing.

• The Choice Depends On: The need for high power handling vs. high bandwidth and long-distance signal integrity.

2. Fiber Length

Fiber length is not a one-size-fits-all parameter. A custom length ensures:

• Minimized Signal Loss: Eliminates unnecessary excess fiber that can cause attenuation.

• Optimized System Layout: Allows for a clean, efficient, and space-saving installation in complex machinery or infrastructure.

• Cost Efficiency: You pay only for the length you need.

• The Choice Depends On: The exact distance between your light source and your detector or application point.

3. Interface Type

The interface is the critical connection point between your fiber and the rest of your system. We offer customized connector types (e.g., SMA905 / FC / ST and others).

• Physical Compatibility: Direct plug-and-play integration with your existing equipment.

• Optical Performance: The right connector preserves signal integrity and minimizes back-reflection.

• Application-Specific Needs: Sealed connectors for harsh environments or specialized tips for medical devices.

• The Choice Depends On: The equipment you are connecting to and the environmental conditions.
