Product information "Shaped Fiber Tip Assemblies"

Fiber Type All Silica, Step Index MM, Hard Clad; Single Fiber; Wavelength 190 to 1250 nm; Sheathing Acrylate, Polyimide, Nylon, Tefzel, Gold, Aluminium; Termination 905 SMA, FC/PC, ST/PC, Cleaved Ends, Polished Ends, Round 2.5mm Ferrule, FD-80 High Power, 905 High Power, Custom

Shaped fiber tip assemblies provide optimum control over beam delivery and/or increased efficiency of light collection. Fiberguide offers standard configurations like angles, ball, radiused, conical, chisel or diffuser tips, as well as custom designed shaped tip fibers assemblies for precise beam control.

A shaped tip on the end of an optical fiber allows for a wide variety of different outputs and inputs; they are most commonly in the medical field as laser scalpels, to remove plaque buildup in arteries, to close varicose veins and to couple diodes into multi mode optical fibers.

Shaped tips are also used to provide diffused outputs and as radial emitters, perpendicular to the face of the fiber. The shaped tips are bare or encapsulated in a glass tube, to prevent fluids and other materials from impacting the shape of the light output from the fiber. Fiberguide designs and manufactures shaped glass to manipulate the light inside fibers.

Fiberguide offers shaped tips for a broad range of multi mode fibers, including step index MM fiber series like AFS/AFM/AFH/SFS/SFM/SFH all silica optical fibers, AFSH/SFSH hard polymer coat fibers, APC/SPC polymer clad fibers, APCH/SPCH hard clad fibers, AFR/SFR Uniclad™ high power fibers or Solarguide™ solarization resistant fibers, but also AGI/ASI anhydrous graded index fibers.

For high temperature applications, some fiber types can be aluminium or gold coated on request. 


Additionally, all fiber types can be equipped on demand with Fiberguide’s patented RARe Motheye anti-reflective technology that enhances fiber transmission performance and significantly increases the damage threshold for your application over a large wavelength range.

Fiberguide’s experienced engineering team, industry leading fiber processing techniques, and proprietary design software can help enable any custom solution. Get in touch with AMS Technologies’ fiber optic team and discuss the requirements of your solution!

End Capped High Power Assemblies
Fiber Type Step Index MM, Other; Wavelength 190 to 2400 nm; Sheathing Stainless Steel Monocoil (Bare or PVC Coated); Termination High Power SMA, High Power FD-80 Fiberguide’s end capped high power fiber optic assemblies allow the user to achieve higher coupled power into a fiber core by reducing the power density at the air/ silica interface, commonly the point of laser damage. End cap diameters and lengths are offered for select numerical apertures and fiber core sizes but can be easily customized for a variety of fiber types and specialized applications. End capped high power assemblies allow for much higher transmitted powers by reducing the power density to a level below the damage threshold. Their shaped endcap tips can be tailored to specific laser launch conditions and applications. Fiberguide’s proprietary laser polishing process minimizes surface imperfections and maximizes power handling. High Power SMA and D-80 compatible connector options offer superior thermal management while minimizing connector stress for NA conservation. With their epoxy-free cantilevered nose design (available in select versions), Fiberguide’s end capped high power assemblies allow thermal energy to safely dissipate and thus minimize laser and heat damage to surrounding materials Fiberguide offers end capped high power assemblies for a broad range of step index multi mode fibers, including AFS/AFM/AFH/SFS/SFM/SFH all silica optical fiber, AFSH/SFSH hard polymer coat fiber, APC/SPC polymer clad fiber, APCH/SPCH hard clad fiber, AFR/SFR Uniclad™ high power fiber or Solarguide™ solarization resistant fiber.

These high power laser assemblies are ideal for laser cutting, welding, drilling, and marking applications. High power SMA and D-80 compatible connectors offer superior thermal management while minimizing connector stress for NA conservation. With their epoxy-free cantilevered nose design, Fiberguide’s high power assemblies allow thermal energy to safely dissipate without burning the surrounding material. Their laser-polished end faces – also available with anti-reflective (AR) coating – maximize power handling capability. When selecting optical cable assemblies for power delivery systems, designers must consider the power limitations of the three main components of the cable assembly: the base material, the input connector, and the mode stripper (if used).
