Fiber optics

In fiber optics, light is guided within thin strands of glass or plastic. In just a few decades, optical fibers have evolved from simple light pipes into precision‑engineered waveguides. Glass fibers are typically used for optical signal transmission, enabling long-distance and high bandwidth communication in local and global data networks. They also offer applications as fiber-based sensors to measure properties such as strain or temperature even in remote locations or harsh environments. Furthermore, they can be used in imaging optics, as lightguides for illumination or as gain media in fiber lasers.

At Eclipse, we have expertise in fiber optics, ranging from optical communications to high-power fiber lasers and Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) for sensing applications. Combining our experience in optical systems design and manufacturing, we can support your fiber-optic solution with anything from propagation physics to integration of fiber components within larger optical assemblies.

We can support with the following:

• Choosing the right components for your application
• Handling and testing of fiber optic components
• Design of fiber Bragg gratings for sensing applications
• Design of fiber lasers
• Design of setups for efficient interface between free-space and fiber-based optical systems
• Tolerancing your setup
• Dispersion management and pulse compression
