An Optek Systems product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Jan 24, 2007

OpTek Systems can now offer contract manufacturing services for optical fibre applications using our proprietary and patented laser technology platforms.

A leader in Laser-based processing tools introduces domestic manufacturing services for the fibre optic industry: Telecom (Actives, Passives, FTTH) DOD (MIL, Aerospace, Homeland Security, ITAR) Specialty (Medical, Sensing, Large-core HCS) Laser processing of optical fibres possesses inherent advantages over mechanical methods in terms of repeatability, quality, yield, flexibility, and manufacturing costs.

With a new manufacturing centre in Greenville, South Carolina, OpTek Systems can now offer contract manufacturing services for optical fibre applications using our proprietary and patented laser technology platforms.

OpTek Systems' laser shaping offers highly repeatable and precise control over fibre end geometries.

Rapid, non-contact process (no risk of chipping, scratching, core-crack) Optimal coupling efficiencies through in-situ feedback measurements Optical-grade surfaces Range of complex geometries from conical, to multi-faced bi-conical Single fibre (SM, MM, PM) and Multi-fibres (MTP's).OpTek Systems' laser cleave and blend technology provides an optical-grade surface for the most challenging fibre type, include large-core HCS.

Simplex: 0->45deg cleaving of single fibres Ribbon: cleaving ribbons and multi-fibre connectors Ferrule: close cleaving of fibre in ferrules (< 40 um from pedestal) Stripping of Optical fibre OpTek Systems' laser stripping technology accurately strips acrylate and polyimide coatings within micron tolerances.

Mid-fibre "window" stripping fibre-tip stripping.
