Fiber optic probes have been recently
adopted for in vivo optical imaging of internal tissues via OCT, a
technology used for morphological imaging of biological systems such as
retina, vasculature and gastrointestinal tract. The fabrication of
these probes requires stable and well-controlled fiber fusion and glass
procession technologies. The fully automated systems available from AMS
Technologies are based on filament fusion and tension-scribe technology
and enable consistent and cost-effective mass production of all-fiber
probes.
- Unique
filament technology provides several advantages: uniform heating around
the fiber, processing of different types of fibers with various optical
characteristics or doping concentrations, long lifetime and robustness
of the probes, many probe designs (from ball lenses to fiber lenses)
- Large
Diameter Cleaver LDC-400 allows cleaving of image bundles with high
quality and good throughput
- Fully
integrated workstation and individual tools for every process step
