FIBER OPTICS WHITE PAPERS
Accuracy in Optical Design
Answering some common questions new users of optical design and analysis software have are “How accurate are the results?” or “Can I trust the results I get?” and discussing the importance of accuracy in optical design.
Visualizing Light Guide Performance Using Photorealistic Rendering
Discover the power of light guides with our free whitepaper! Learn about total internal reflection, surface features, and performance parameters with ease. Elevate your expertise and stay ahead in the game.
Fast Axis Collimator Lenses (FACs) - The Essential Components for Laser Diodes
We started developing FACs more than 15 years ago. The result is highly automated in-house processes which allow for competitive prices – even with high volumes. Diode lasers are efficient, compact, and robust laser sources, but the output beams...
Micro Lenses for Imaging Systems - Submillimeter Components and Complex Compound Elements
We combine all resources for your successful micro imaging needs under one roof. We are specialists in ready-to-install, small and high-precision individual lenses and cemented elements. Our expertise includes sophisticated AR coatings, metallic...
Fiber Optic Reflectors for FTTx Network Link Monitoring
In the PON (Passive optical network), especially the complex point-to-multipoint PON ODN (Optical distribution network) topology environment, the rapid monitoring and diagnosis of optical fiber faults has become a challenging work. Although optical...
Specialty Fiber Preforms for Industrial Applications
Enabling new laser applications with fused silica fibers.
Novel Micro-optics Solutions Through Monolithic Integration of Microlenses and Prisms
SUSS MicroOptics is a global leader in micro-optics technology and manufacturing. Innovative combination of process technology has allowed SUSS MicroOptics to integrate micro-lenses and prisms on wafer-scale. In combination with the comprehensive...
Fabricating Low Loss GeO

Thin Films for Planar Waveguides Such as Photonic Integrated Circuits
High quality GeO2 thin films that exhibit low loss and low surface roughness were produced by Intlvac’s Nanochrome IV PARMS system, proving that ion assisted AC dual sputtering is an effective fabrication technique. This is highly applicable to...
3SAE End-Cap Fusion Splicer (ECS)
The world's first portable end-cap fusion splicer that provides capabilities that overcome the limitations of current end-cap splicing processes.
How OFDR is Redefining Optical Component Characterization
Modern optical networks require ever higher-speeds and the associated optical and electronic systems must be smaller and less power-hungry. This need has driven major investments in new component technologies that leverage semiconductor technology,...
Hybrid Gain Flattening Filters in Optical Fiber Amplifiers
Iridian Spectral Technologies has developed what is referred to as a Hybrid GFF, which combines the functionality of both a WDM and the GFF on one component. Specifically, a Hybrid GFF can block the pump laser from light in the range of...
New Approach for High Reliability, Low Loss Splicing between Silica and ZBLAN Fibers
This paper presents results obtained by using the high thermal expansion coefficient of the ZBLAN fiber to encapsulate a smaller SiO2 fiber. A CO2 laser glass processing system was used to control the expansion and contraction of the ZBLAN material...
Annular Heating of Optical Fiber with a CO2 Laser Using Reflective Axicon Elements
By offsetting the light structure, precise localized zone heating and annealing of specific areas at a fiber’s surface can be achieved as well. This is essentially a passive device into which active feedback elements can be incorporated to allow...
Ball Shaped End Caps
In this paper, general ball shaped end-caps are studied and illustrated. Different ball shaped end-caps were tested and measured for a variety of applications. For example, a 2.2 mm diameter ball shaped end-cap was manufactured on the end of the...
Solutions for Fiber Optic Applications
High temperature polymer coating and sheathing products protect and support the latest fiber optic technology.
Effects of Sterilization Methods on Key Properties of Specialty Optical Fibers Used in Medical Devices
Optical fibers with different types of polymer coatings were exposed to three sterilization conditions: multiple autoclaving, treatment with ethylene oxide and treatment with gamma rays. Effects of different sterilization techniques on key optical...
Optimal Lighting Design Boosts Efficiency of Medical Diagnostic Instruments
When it comes to clinical diagnoses, light is the key to prediction accuracy and to making progress in analytical quality. However, light is not always simply light. “What really makes the difference is a light source with long-term stability – one...
Interferometric Inspection of Optical Fiber End Faces
This white paper explains how interferometry can improve process control in fiber optic component manufacturing by ensuring good quality cleaved and polished end faces. It covers methods of interferometry used in fiber end face inspection, how to...
New Approach for High Reliability, Low Loss Splicing between Silica and ZBLAN Fibers
In the past decade, ZBLAN (ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-NaF) fibers have drawn increasing interest for laser operations at wavelengths where Fused Silica-based (SiO2) fibers do not perform well. One limitation to the expansion of ZBLAN fiber lasers today is the...
How to Fail Fast and Smart During the Optical Product Design Process
Failure is an inevitable part of the product development process, because you have to explore all the ways a design won’t work to find the way it will work. When you’re in a situation that demands speedy development cycles, how can you fail faster...
Accelerating Photonic Simulations with the Effective Index Method in RSoft Tools
The Effective Index Method (EIM) can be used in Synopsys RSoft™ photonic design software to greatly reduce the computation time and memory requirements of a simulation by converting a 3D structure into an approximate 2D structure. This is also...
High Damage Threshold Random Anti-Reflection (RAR) Nano Structures on Optical Fiber as Replacement for AR Coatings
This particular paper covers the key elements of anti-reflective coatings and the comparable improvement in the performance of the fiber through the application of a nano structure surface. More specifically, the paper focuses on a structure which...
Acrofusion Makes SolChar Incinerator Possible
Acrolite recently had the opportunity to collaborate with researchers at the University of Colorado in an endeavor that sought to end these pressing global issues. With funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s “Reinvent the Toilet”...
Design Optimization of Grating Fiber Couplers with RSoft Products
Engineers can readily achieve optimal design of silicon photonics devices using rigorous simulation tools to numerically optimize a large number of design parameters. This paper demonstrates how a complex grating coupler design can be efficiently...
OptSim Circuit: A SPICE-Like Photonic Simulator for Scalable Photonic
The time for large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs) has arrived. Governments, academia and industry are all onboard to transfer knowledge gained from decades of manufacturing experience in electronic integrated circuits to photonic...
