11 FIBERS NCC fibers emit almost orthogonal flat-top beams. The image shows the intensity distribution on the focal level, using NCC fibers with core diameter of 800 x 800 µm. Fiber with rectangular core geometry. Pure fused silica / F-doped fused silica square and rectangular shaped fibers Fibers which deviate from the traditional round form with a square or rectangular shape offers advantages due to providing maximum packing density for input and output. These fibers are very suitable for connections to angular sources and receivers, e.g. diode lasers. The angular shaped core provides consistent short-distance homogenization input power distribution. Our angular fibers are also available in rectangular shapes with large side ratios and a small corner radius, thanks to our special PCVD-technology. Large NCC's are ideal for applications which require a combination of flexibility and large cross sections in silica fibers, e.g. a diode laser delivery system. To name an example, the geometry of a rectangular optical fiber with a ratio of 1 : 3 allows for rotation and movement on one axis. The cross section is but about four times larger than that of a round fiber (round fiber / diameter rectangular fiber / page size). Applications First choice for applications for beam shaping e.g. including surface treatment or for lighting.

24 CUSTOMER INFORMATION Instructions for use Fibers, fiber cables, fiber bundles Please note the following information to ensure the long-term safe use of your fiber products: Safety 1. The NA of the laser beam must be smaller than the NA of the fiber. 2. The laser beam must be precisely directed towards the core diameter or fused bundle, as connectors or adhesive between the bundles may otherwise overheat. 3. It is recommended to have the laser energy distributed evenly (instead of a Gaussian distribution). Application 1. Clean the fiber endface before switching on the laser. 2. Ensure that the ferrule and receptacle are entirely free from any contamination, as contaminants may burn in. 3. The cable / bundle surface may be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, ideally under a microscope using a cotton bud. 4. Ensure that the optical axes are correctly aligned and not at an angle to each other, and that the focal point is correctly aligned. It is recommended to verify the alignment using a He-Ne laser. 5. Ensure that the minimum bending radius is complied with to prevent fiber breakage.

25 CUSTOMER INFORMATION CeramOptec glossary We have explained some important concepts of fiber optics below. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Fiber optics Optical fiber Fiber bundle Core Cladding Ultraviolet Visible spectrum Attenuation Bend loss Transmission The branch of optical technology concerned with the transmission of radiant power through fibers made of transparent materials such as glass, fused silica or plastic. (Also optical waveguide, fiber optic cable, optical cable) a thin filament of drawn or extruded glass or plastic having a central core and a cladding of lower-index material to promote internal reflection. A rigid or flexible, concentrated assembly of glass or plastic fibers used to transmit light. The light conducting portion of an optical fiber. It has a higher refractive index than the cladding. Low refractive index material that surrounds the core of an optical fiber. It contains the core light while protecting against surface scattering. The cladding can consist of fused silica, plastic or specialty materials. In fiber optics, the NA describes the range of angles at which light can enter and exit the system. NA is an important parameter in applied fiber optics. The invisible region of the spectrum beyond the violet end of the visible region. Wavelengths range from 1 to 400 nm. The region of the electromagnetic spectrum to which the retina is sensitive and by which the eye sees. It extends from about 400 to 700 nm in wavelength. The phenomenon of the loss of average optical power in an optical fiber or medium. Loss of power in an optical fiber due to bending of the fiber. Usually caused by exceeding the critical angle required for total internal reflection by internal light paths. In optics, the conduction of radiant energy through a medium. Often denotes the percentage of energy passing through an element or system relative to the amount that entered.
