Fiberguide has been supporting the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) in taking their concepts and ideas to market since 1977. Our staff of engineers, technical sales professionals and experienced production team unites in developing that product specific to your individual application. We design and engineer assemblies using not only our own pure silica core/silica clad, silica core/plastic clad fibers, but borosilicate glass fiber, ESKA™ plastic optical fiber, fluoride fiber, chalcogenide fiber, erbium-doped fiber and polarization maintaining fiber as well. Available with numerical apertures (N.A.'s) from 0.12 (full acceptance angle 14°) to 0.66 (full acceptance angle 82°), with the widest range of custom and standard endfittings/connectors and outer jackets to tailor a product to your technical and economic requisites.

The definition of a fiber optic assembly is "A length of fiber optic cable that has been terminated with a connector, pigtail or other component." This could be a single fiber cable terminated with industry standard connectors on both ends and jacketed in flexible sheathing, to a multi-fiber design consisting of multiple inputs and/or outputs, each with different cross-section areas and geometries, each requiring a custom machined endfitting and a heavy duty outer jacket to protect the assembly from being crushed.

Design Features

• Temperatures from -269°C to +750°C. (Using gold coated fibers.)
• Vacuum compatible tested to 10-9 Torr.
• Chemical resistant: acids, bases, and organic solvents.
• Radiation resistant: gamma, e-beam, fast neutrons, and x-ray resistant.
• Operating wavelengths from 180nm to 2400nm.
• Overall lengths up to 100 meters.
• Active area geometries include circular, arc, segmented, rectangle, concentric, square, linear, hexagonal, or whatever the application calls for.
• Bifurcated, trifurcated to complex multiple leg assemblies.
• Cross-section, or aperture, of each end may be of a different geometry, i.e. line-to-spot, spot-to-spot, concentric-to-(2) spots, or whatever the application calls for.
• Different size and/or different fibers (e.g. silica/silica and borosilicate) may be combined into the same assembly.
• Fiber arrangement may be random, uniformly distributed, scrambled, coherently aligned, mapped for specific input/output distribution, precision spaced.
• Wide assortment of end terminations and furcation joints.
