Optical Fiber
Optical fiber probes are commonly used to deliver laser power in numerous medical applications. Many therapies require the reliable delivery of high laser power to ablate tissue. Polymicro™ optical fibers are successfully used in diverse medical specialties such as general surgery, urology, ophthalmology, cardiology, medical sensing, diagnostics, endoscopy and dentistry.
- Various-sized fibers, ranging from 25 to 2,000 μm core, with different numerical apertures from standard 0.22 up to 0.66, and biocompatible buffers such as Polyimide, ETFE or Nylon
- Manufactured in an ISO13485, 9001 and 14001 facility that adheres to strict FDA QSR regulatory requirements
- Biocompatible ISO 10993 certified medical fibers

Optical Assemblies and Arrays
Utilizing patented manufacturing techniques, we produce extremely tight tolerance one-dimensional (V-Grooves) and two-dimensional arrays. These arrays can accommodate anywhere from a few fibers to thousands, depending on the application. Access Additional Optical Assemblies and Arrays Information
De-Speckler System
The Fiberguide™ fiber optic De-Speckler System enhances fiber-optic performance and ensures reliable illumination without any optical loss, making it ideal for fiber assemblies in a broad range of applications. Access Additional De-Speckler System Information
Collimators and Focus Guides
These durable modules are utilized in a diverse array of optical systems. They are engineered to either collimate or focus light emitted from an optical fiber to achieve a specific beam diameter or spot size at a designated distance. Access Additional Collimators and Focus Guides Information
Motheye Anti-Reflective Technology
Fiberguide fiber optic Motheye Anti-Reflective Technology features a randomly nano-structured surface etched onto the ends of fibers to minimize reflectance and enhance transmission. Access Additional Motheye Anti-Reflective Technology Information
Vacuum Feedthroughs
Vacuum feedthroughs allow optical fibers to pass through a pressure vessel while maintaining the vacuum’s integrity.
