FIBER OPTICS

Dear Reader, Patrick Paul, General Manager Fiber optic cables are becoming more and more important in industry, medical technology, data transmission, and sensor technology. As the demands placed on laser power, data volume, and data rates increase, so too do the demands on f ibers, cables, and connectors. The multitude of applications results in a large variety of optical cables with ifferent d fiber types and connectors. LASER COMPONENTS offers a fiber optic assembly service that allows you to serve this market quickly. Take advantage of more than 25 years of experience in fiber optic...

About us LASER COMPONENTS specializes in the manufacture and sale of optical and o ptoelectronic components. Since its founding in 1982, our family-owned company has grown steadily and expanded into new fields of business. Fiber assemblies have been manufactured at the company’s headquarters in Olching near Munich since 1995. We also manufacture laser optics, laser modules, electronics, and photon counters at this location. In addition, LASER COMPONENTS Canada p roduces pulsed laser diodes. Moreover, the LASER COMPONENTS Detector Group, based in the U.S.A., is esponsible for manufacturing...

Assemblies, Fibers, Cables, and Connectors LASER COMPONENTS uses optical fibers to make cable assemblies and develops fiber optic components. In this catalog, we present both our manufacturing options and our standard products.

Development Complex Fiber Optic Developments Our company’s headquarters in Olching is also the central headquarters of our R&D department at LASER COMPONENTS. In addition to fiber optic specialists with many years of scientific and practical experience, our motivated team onsists c of experts in optical thin-film technology and optoelectronics. Together, our team works cross-disciplinarily on projects aimed at the new and continued evelopment d of our products. Development and Production Go Hand in Hand The short communication pathways and channels of action between the R&D and production...

Individual Project Planning With every R&D order, we assemble our project team on a cross-disciplinary basis in order to provide the right solutions for each new product. Development is carried out ccording a to a predefined specification sheet. Both the customer and the manufacturer jointly set the agreement terms, requirements, and objectives for the implementation of the project. If r equired, technical drawings that document all the specifications agreed upon may be p repared for the products. Optimum development results are achieved using simulation programs, etc. For prototype...

Assembling of Optical Fibers High Quality We assemble all cables at our location in Olching near Munich. The advantages of manufacturing in Germany outweigh the challenges of remaining competitive in terms of price. We rely on the high professional competence of our mployees e and the guaranteed quality of our products. In addition, we are in charge of the incoming goods inspection of the components we receive and the outgoing goods inspection of the assembled cables we ship.

Our Strengths Our core competencies lie in the fields of power transmission and medical technology: from high-power fibers for diode lasers to sterilely packed fibers for medical lasers and custom m edical and industrial products. Thanks to extensive investments in technology and personnel, we also have the know-how to manufacture high-end applications in these demanding markets. PM Production The assembly of polarization-maintaining bow-tie and Panda fibers requires special k nowledge and high precision. At LASER COMPONENTS, we also offer PM fiber a ssemblies ccording to your specific...

Production Facility Successfully competing on the market with state-of-the-art products requires s tate-of-the-art production facilities and precise testing equipment. In addition, qualified employees who know their equipment inside and out, but also bring in new ideas, are crucial. This results in very high-quality and innovative products. Centricity Measurement The high quality of the assembled cables is largely due to the alignment of the fiber core to the outer diameter of the ferrule. An increase in the power of the coupled laser light increases the centricity requirements. In the...

Laser Polishing The fiber ends are polished after assembly. The better the polish, the better the laser beam can be coupled into the fiber. The same, of course, applies to utcoupling o and thus to the quality of the entire system. LASER COMPONENTS uses a recision p process to achieve particularly low roughness depths. The result is fiber assemblies with maximum efficiency. End Face Coating In order to avoid back reflections, the fiber end faces often have to be coated with an anti-reflective layer (AR coating). LASER COMPONENTS benefits from its d ecades of experience in laser optic...

Production Facility Cleanroom LASER COMPONENTS develops and produces optical, optoelectronic, and fiber optic components for medical applications. Our components are crucial for the quality and reliability of your products and s olutions. That is why we work extremely carefully with a process-oriented uality q management system, in which top quality has the highest priority and is the b enchmark for customers, suppliers, and employees. As a partner, we offer decisive advantages: ▪▪ Quality management system certified according to ISO 9001 and EN ISO 13485 ▪▪ Complete range of services from...

The use of fiber optic cables is no longer limited to data transmission. Optical f ibers can now be found in a wide variety of industries and fields of application. The requirements for fibers, connectors, and protective sleeves are correspondingly d iverse. But the technical possibilities have also been developed further: in many cases today special fibers are available that meet the requirements of a specific application exactly. High-Power Fibers / Photonics / Laser Industry LASER COMPONENTS has been manufacturing special assemblies for demanding customers in photonics for many years....
