Custom Fiber Optic Assemblies-All Types

Fiber parameters of Custom Fiber Optic Assemblies

1. Fiber type: Single-mode fiber, multi-mode fiber or special fiber such as polarization-maintaining fiber, dispersion-compensating fiber, erbium-doped fiber, etc. can be customized to meet different transmission requirements, such as long-distance low-loss transmission, high-bandwidth multi-channel transmission, specific optical effect applications, etc.

2. Fiber size: including the core diameter, cladding diameter and coating outer diameter of the fiber. Common single-mode fiber core diameters are 9μm, etc., and multi-mode fiber core diameters are 50μm, 62.5μm, etc. Special sizes can be customized according to specific applications.

3. Optical properties: Customize numerical aperture, dispersion characteristics, loss coefficient, etc. For example, in high-speed optical communications, low-dispersion fiber is required to reduce signal distortion; in sensing applications, high numerical aperture fiber may be required to improve light collection efficiency.

Connection and interface of Custom Fiber Optic Assemblies

1. Connector type: There are many types such as FC, SC, LC, ST, MPO/MTP, etc., which can be customized according to the device interface requirements and usage scenarios. For example, MPO/MTP connectors are often used in data centers to achieve high-density connections.

2. Connection method: Choose fusion connection, mechanical connection or active connection method. Fusion connection has low loss and high stability; mechanical connection is convenient for quick installation on site; active connection is convenient for plugging and replacing equipment.

3. Number and layout of interfaces: For multi-core fiber optic assemblies, the number and arrangement of interfaces can be customized, such as fiber arrays with different core numbers such as 12 cores and 24 cores, as well as specific arrangements to meet the interface requirements of different devices.

Length and shape of Custom Fiber Optic Assemblies

1. Length customization: According to the actual application scenario, it can be customized from a few centimeters for short distances to thousands of meters for long distances or even longer. For example, indoor wiring may only require a few meters of fiber jumpers, while long-distance communication requires tens of kilometers of fiber optic cables.

2. Shape design: The optical fiber can be processed into a specific shape, such as bending, winding, bundling, etc. For example, in fiber optic sensing applications, it may be necessary to wind the optical fiber into a ring or spiral shape to increase the interaction between light and the substance being measured.
