FIBER OPTIC BUNDLES AND LINEAR ARRAYS
Description
Fiber Optic Bundles and linear arrays are simply fiberoptic assemblies comprised of multiple fibers.
Using multiple fibers provides several important benefits:
• Apertures over 1mm in diameter are easily and cost effectively accommodated.
• The flexibility of a bundle of multiple smaller core fibers is superior to the flexibility from a single larger diameter fiber.
• Multiple fibers can be configured in virtually any cross section imaginable, and the two ends may have different cross sections.
XSOF™ fabricates bundles or arrays using all of the standard types of fibers. These include silica core/silica clad, silica core/plastic clad, all plastic, borosilicate glass or other more exotic constructions.
These fibers exhibit NAs of 0.12 to 0.66. XSOF™ offers one of the widest ranges of materials possible in order to tailor products to both technical and economic requirements.
XSOF™ can provide standard end fittings like ferrules or OTS connectors but can also provide custom end fittings to suit your specific or OEM applications.

Features
- Flexibility and excellent throughput by using multiple fibers (fiber optic bundles) of the highest quality.
- Can be shape changed, meaning the cross section, or aperture, of each end may be different, e.g., spot to linear arrays.
- Aperture shaping allows for aperture matching.
- Transmission from 180nm through 2200nm and longer.
- Standard and custom end fittings available.
- Harsh environments (high temperature, high vacuum etc.).
Applications
- Emission, Fluorescence and Absorption Spectroscopy
- Illumination
- Splitters – Single input to multiple outputs
- Combiners – Multiple inputs to a single output
- Mapped arrays for position sensing or generating specific output or input distributions
- Linear arrays for spectrometer slit matching
- Precision spaced arrays for diode array coupling or optical switching
