Fibre-Optic Assemblies

Photonics News No 59

Manufactured in Olching


LASER COMPONENTS has been manufacturing fibre-optic assemblies and patch cords for over 20 years. Our specialty is the assembly and processing of large-core fibres, such as those used in spectroscopy, sensor and medical applications, and with high power lasers. We specialise in providing custom solutions, with our development engineers working hand in hand with the production team to deliver solutions for demanding applications.

Established polishing techniques, backed by precision optical test technology, ensure the highest quality; which has been confirmed by customers worldwide. An in-house laser laboratory is also available, with test and measurement equipment for the assessment of a range of optical parametres to ensure the final performance of a fibre coupled system.

Our Fields of Work

Laser Power Transmission. One of our core competencies is the manufacturing of fibre-optic assemblies for laser power transmission. This field is dominated by SMA and D80 connectors, as well as custom designs with large-core fibres (Øcore: 100-1000 µm). We manufacture free-standing SMA connectors with centricities of the free-standing fibre of <5 µm.

There are many different combinations of connectors, cables, and cladding/jacket options available; for example, if you require high heat conductivity, we select copper ferrules. To achieve maximum transmission capacity, an AR coating can be added to patch cords in house. To remove unwanted cladding modes, we offer our mode-strip technology, which was developed in house for new applications in high-power transmission with single fibres.

Sensor Technology. The triumph of miniaturisation and flexibility in sensor technology requires new solutions for light transmission via optical fibres. In collaboration with our customers, we are expanding the range of current possibilities.

Medical technology. We also manufacture assemblies for medical applications and have a quality management system certified to ISO 13485. We develop and manufacture medical fibre assemblies in a state-of-the-art cleanroom environment, for applications in surgery, dentistry, dermatology, lithotripsy, tattoo removal, and magnetic resonance imaging. In addition to traditional large-core fibres, we also manufacture assemblies with polarisation-maintaining (PM), single-mode, and multi-core fibres. These can be assembled with all connector types.

Spectroscopy. Flexible fibre technology is also required in spectroscopy: either as single-fibre transmission or as a fibre bundle. We have developed solutions transmitting wavelengths that extend into the deep UV.

Industrial applications. Fibres are increasingly being used in industry for data transmission and control systems. For this type of application we can provide both glass fibres and plastic optical fibres (POF).

Fibre-optic developments. At LASER COMPONENTS our development and production teams work hand in hand. We combine knowledge gained in the areas of electronics and laser technology with technical know-how in mechanics, housing technology, fibre-optics and component technology. This allows us to respond quickly to customer needs regarding the design, development, and production of submodules and modules and also to find solutions for complex requests and projects.
