FIBER OPTIC SOLUTIONS FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS Fiber optic technology is opening exciting new fields of application in the medical industry. The physical characteristics of fiber make it a natural choice for many uses. Optical fiber has become widely used in imaging, laser delivery systems, illumination, sensors and equipment interconnects. Optical fibers provide a compact and flexible conduit for light or data delivery in diagnostic and interventional medical applications. In order to be effective, optical fibers require robust, precise interconnects that integrate seamlessly into the...

DMI (DIAMOND MICRO INTERFACE) Thanks to its minimal space requirement, the DMI connector system is an ideal solution for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) applications as well as a high quality interface between active and passive components of fiber optic installations. DMI connectors are based on standard Ø 2.5 mm ferrules. For replacing a splice, Diamond offers the DMI which is designed to operate with any type of fibers with excellent optical performances. DMI Features and Benefits ➔ Minimum space requirement (footprint of 4.5 x 21 mm) ➔ Consistent high performance solution ➔ Available in PS...

SOLUTIONS FOR LIGHT INJECTION ࡯ Module Active transmitter and Receiver MAT/MAR MAT active device transmitter modules permit the direct coupling of optical signals into fibers terminated with E-2000™ connectors. (MAR receivers perform the reverse receiving function). Achieved light injection > 55%. ࡯ Pigltailed Laser with Active Laser Welding Thanks to a special lens and the diode active alignment on X/Y/Z axis, the light injection is more than 55%. Solutions are available for SM and PM fibers and can be assembled with all Diamond connector types. RECEPTACLE IMOD The Interface Module (IMOD)...

POWER SOLUTION EXPANDED BEAM TECHNOLOGIES FOR PROXIMAL AND DISTAL SIDES Diamond uses different methods for expanded beam alignment, depending on the final use of the assembly. The main expanded beam types can be defined as following: spliced GRIN lenses and spliced glass rod-, or endcap which allows a Diverging, Collimated or Focused exit beam. These technologies are also suitable for high power applications. NON-CONTACT OPTICAL INTERFACES PSf Free Space (Diverging) A glass rod is spliced at the end of a SM fiber. This allows the beam to be expanded before it exits the glass, diminishing...

CONTACT OPTICAL INTERFACES PS Collimated Diamond offers the Power Solution optical Interface which expands the MFD of a SM fiber by splicing a GRIN lens at the extremity. The MFD at the end of the connector is thus expanded by a factor of 4 to 5, increasing the contact surface by a factor of about 15. As a result the heat issues decrease but cleanliness of the connectors and mating adapters is still important. PM-PS Collimated Polarization Maintaining Polarization plays an important role in the industrial photonics market and when coupled with medium-high power application, creates a highly...

DIAMOND’S TECHNOLOGIES VIS/NIR USING DIAMOND ACTIVE CORE ALIGNMENT (ACA) Visible and NIR wavelengths are commonly used in medical applications for either diagnostic or treatment, such as OCT or spectrometry on living tissue. Small core fibers are used in those cases, with high power on some occasion. Transmission of light require in most cases high quality contact as Diamond can uniquely provide. ➔ Extremely low lateral offset for Low insertion loss ➔ Ultra high polish for high return loss ➔ Available for: E-2000™, F-3000™, DMI, FC, LSA (DIN), AVIM, Mini-AVIM, SC connector types. ACTIVE...

MANUFACTURING COMPETENCIES FIBER OPTIC JACKETING Diamond assemblies can be offered with the following plastic and metal flexible jacketing to protect the Fiber from breaking. Plastic tubes ➔ PEEK (Victrex 450) ➔ PA (Nylon) Metal tubes ➔ Stainless steel Semi-Interlock Double Spring Tube (SIDSP) ➔ By inserting a stainless steel wire into the spiral valley of the semi-inter tube greater bending radius limitation is achieved ➔ In addition the radius can be adjusted by modifying the wire diameter and number of wires inserted ➔ Doubling the stainless steel wire will produce a stable outer tube...
