CeramOptec presents the latest generation of its end-fused bundles at the Laser World of Photonics, specifically developed for use in combination with high-performance light sources as well as for applications in the fields of spectroscopy and semiconductor production. The patented manufacturing process not only enables a more compact bundle design but also guarantees better radiation transmission and lower power losses. At the same time, the new manufacturing process allows for maximum freedom in choosing the bundle shape (square, hexagonal, round, triangular, etc.) and size. In combination with anti-reflective coatings at the bundle ends, a transmission efficiency of up to 97 percent can be achieved.
Due to the low-loss signal transmission, these bundles are ideally suited for use in the high-power sector, such as in the entertainment and lighting industry, where large light flows of up to several tens of thousands of lumens or several hundred watts need to be transmitted. At the same time, the arbitrary sorting of the fibers in the bundle allows for the homogenization of the light source.
The combination with smaller connector types also opens up new areas of application in spectroscopy or the semiconductor industry, where compact and reliable bundles are in demand due to the high integration density.
Customer-specific fibers – from laser material processing to process monitoring
Another focus of the trade fair is fiber optimization in the wavelength range from UV to IR. Through process improvements in preform manufacturing and fiber drawing, it has been possible to reduce absorption losses and improve the spectral and solarization performance of the fibers to such an extent that numerous new fields of application arise – from process monitoring and spectroscopy to thermonuclear fusion reactors and laser material processing in the non-infrared light spectrum, where the optical fibers are used, for example, in combination with blue high-performance diode lasers. Furthermore, the fibers are also suitable for applications with a strong UV light component, such as sterilizing or curing plastics and polymers. All fibers are custom-made – in addition to designs with regular polygon cross-sections, rectangles with an aspect ratio of up to 1:6 are also available. Trade fair visitors can get detailed information about the new fiber types at the booth.
