FOP (FIBER OPTIC PLATE)

Product catalog summary

Overview: Fiber Optic Plates (FOPs) are optical devices composed of bundles of micron-diameter optical fibers. They directly transmit light or images from the input to the output surface, allowing for compact optical designs with high resolution.

Construction and Features: Each FOP consists of single fibers that convey light through total internal reflection between the core and cladding glass. Light entering at angles exceeding the maximum acceptance angle is absorbed, preventing resolution degradation. FOPs can be directly coupled to CCD/CMOS sensors, eliminating the need for focusing distance and enabling compact designs.

Types of FOPs:

Low-NA FOP: Ideal for extracting light with small incident angles, featuring a low numerical aperture.
Tapered FOP: Fabricated to magnify or reduce images with a standard ratio of 1:2 or 2:3, adjustable up to 1:5.
X-ray Shielding FOP: Provides superior X-ray shielding, protecting image sensors from deterioration.

Specifications: The document lists various FOP types with specifications such as numerical aperture, maximum acceptance angle, fiber diameter, resolution, transmittance, and thermal expansion coefficient. These specifications are crucial for selecting the appropriate FOP for specific applications.

Applications and Customization: FOPs are suitable for use in imaging devices and can be customized in shape and fiber diameter to meet specific requirements. All products comply with RoHS standards.

Contact Information: The document provides contact details for Hamamatsu Photonics offices worldwide, inviting requests for custom FOPs.
