Product: Fused Fiber Optic Elements
Image conduits are composed of many individual plastic optical fibers fused together. Each fiber transmits a single pixel of the image.
Three general product areas are itemized below.
1. Fiber Bundle
 |
This product type is also known as image guide. Fiber bundles are generally flexible and usually composed of many thousands of long microfibers. These microfibers are arranged in a tight parallel array. Fiber bundles are typically 20cm to 100cm in length and .5mm to 2.0mm in diameter. |
2. Fiber Optic Plate
 |
This product type is generally rigid and inflexible. Many thousands of microfibers are arrayed, but their lengths are very short. Fiber optic plates are commonly coin sized, with a large surface area relative to their thickness. Fiber optic plates are typically 2mm to 10mm thick, with a surface area of 1 to 20 square centimeters. |
3. Custom Conduit
 |
Nanoptics, Inc. will produce unusual, one of a kind conduit, to meet your specific needs. Our engineers, designers, and technicians will work with your specifications to produce any fused fiber element required, regardless of shape or size.
