Design Considerations
Polymicro offers the system designer unparalleled
flexibility to incorporate a wide range of design options into their
assemblies. Everything from the termination style and technique,
jacketing, and fiber type can be specified to ensure optimum system
performance. Our experience in designing and manufacturing assemblies for
the industrial and scientific industries is a valuable resource for
applications ranging from sensing, to laser power transmission, to process
control instrumentation, to short distance data communication. In order to
do our best job for you, we will need answers to as many of the following
items as possible.
- Application Description
- Wavelength(s) of Operation
- Input Source Types (diode,
laser, broadband, CW, pulsed)
- Power Levels (peak, pulse,
rate, repetitions, energy density)
- Length with tolerances
- Environmental, Chemical, Use
conditions
- Levels of Reliability
- Launch conditions (spot size,
input NA)
- Bio-compatibility or
Sterilization required*
- Flexibility Requirements
|
- Sketches and concept drawings
- Configuration (Straight or
Multi-leg)
- Input/Output Functions
(sensing, power delivery, diffusion, and many others)
- Size Constraints of fiber,
bundle, jacket, and assembly
- Bending diameter(s)
- Temperature Range (operation,
storage, intermittent)
- Cost guidelines and targets
- Flammability
- Quantity & Delivery
Requirements (Prototype and Production)
- Test Requirements
