Optical bundle and probe

Select your configuration

Straight configuration

Straight bundles include one input and output. However, they could be not as basic at they seem. Indeed in this configuration, bundles can take a large number of geometries with linear, hexagonal, round, array disposal etc. We can address each fiber independent of I/O disposal. Main applications would be illumination and excitation bundles, endoscopy, imaging systems, optical power transportation or mere offset systems for spectroscopy signal collection. Regarding the number of fiber and your application we will set an optical connector, a capillary or a more complex mechanical device.

Fan-out configuration

Fan-out bundles have to be seen like a common junction split from two to numerous legs. Each leg will contain one fiber and is customizable. Common junction is also of course designed regarding your specification. On your side, the use of this kind of bundle is multiple: gathering light sources for illumination or laser pumping, multiple coupled detectors, sample cartography.

Simple Furcation configuration

The main difference between Fan-Out and Furcation bundles resides in the fact that you can set as many fiber as you want in each leg. This makes the difference for reflection, fluorescence, backscattering or Raman measurements where you need to illuminate and collect independently. For this purpose we can add filters, lenses or other terminations.

IDIL assembles all types of fibers, from UV to NIR

Optical bundles refer to a collection of optical fibers grouped together, often used for transmitting or collecting light. IDIL offers tailor-made solutions (flexible or rigid) to meet each customer’s specifications. This includes considerations for fiber types, wavelengths, materials, diameters, quantities (ranging from small batches to several hundred), connector types, customized ferrules, wavelength, numerical apertures, and more.
