Fiber Optics

Fiber optics or optical fibers are those technical enablers of many photonics technologies that are often used as a means to transport optical energy or data over short or long distances. Optical fibers consist of circular cross section dielectric waveguides (in most cases made of some kind of glass), with a central core surrounded by a concentric cladding with a slightly lower (by ≈ 1%) refractive index.

Using MEETOPTICS search you can compare the largest catalog of fiber optics among the top internationally trusted suppliers: Thorlabs, OptoSigma, OPTOKON, Edmund Optics, Lumatec, Bosco Ottica, art photonics, Le Verre Fluoré, IDIL Fibres Optiques, Knight Optical, Fiber Optic Center, Samtec, Siskiyou, TeraXion, Toptica, HAMAMATSU, LD-PD PTE. LTD., asphericon, ID Photonics, Sumix, and WEINERT Fiber Optics. You can compare by filtering and sorting any optical fiber by any of their technical specifications that will contribute to developing photonics technologies. You will be able to compare and select among multi-mode or single-mode patch cables; fiber optic combiners or splitters; fiber optic collimators, connectors, bare fibers or other fiber components adapted to your application’s needs. Besides a broad range of optical fibers, MEETOPTICS also offers fiber optomechanics that ensures the performance of your setup.

Fiber optics features minimal light loss and total internal reflection (TIR), which allows them to potentially be very long (hundreds of kilometers) and flexible. Optical fibers are also ideal for light guide purposes, such as medical, automotive, inspection or display applications, optical fibers transmit safe, no-heat light. When bundled, fiber optics can transmit large quantities of data for telecommunication applications.
