Fibre Optic Sensor Assemblies

In sensor technology, both high-quality assembled glass fibres and inexpensive alternatives such as polymer optical fibres (POFs) are used. While POFs are only used for light/data transmission over short distances, fibre optic bundles can be used to implement complex sensor systems (e.g., for temperature and gas measurement systems and for the turbidity measurement of liquids). Together with our customers, we develop complex fibre optic sensor assemblies.

Assembled Optical Fibre Bundles

Optical fibre bundles for sensor applications consist of arranged fibres.

Multiple fibre bundles separate or combine beams. For this purpose, fibres consisting of independent strands are combined with a splitter in a single cable. Up to several thousand fibres can be combined in a fibre bundle; thus, there is no limit to the active area/cross section.

Fibre bundles are used in many applications such as material processing, UV curing, photolithography, UV spectroscopy, sensor technology, analytics, UV illumination, and Raman spectroscopy.

OEM Production
Since fibre bundles are usually application-specific solutions, we offer a large variety of types and at the same time attach importance to rapid availability.

All standard fibres are available in different diametres and can be processed into fibre bundles in combination with standard connectors or special ferrules and arrays, both as prototypes and in series. For each of the following options, you have several choices:

  • Connectors (SMA, ST, SC, and custom connectors)
  • Fibre arrangement
  • Fibre diametre
  • Fibre lengths
  • Protective jacket
  • Fibre endface coating

In high-power applications, fibre bundles have seldom been able to establish themselves. Now there is a solution: In so-called fused fibre bundles, there is no longer any adhesive on the front endface or in unnecessary dead zones that would weaken the transmission. Fused fibre bundles thus qualify for use in high-power lasers, lamp transmissions, and high-temperature applications. Power can be transmitted equivalent to the damage threshold of the fibre material used – usually 1 GW/cm².
