XSR Xtreme optical fibre assemblies for spectroscopy from Ocean Optics provide enhanced UV transmission (up to 180nm), and are resistant to UV degradation. They are ideal for deep-UV applications.
Schleifring has developed a range of slip rings for use in computed tomography systems. The development of this optical slip ring enables the transmission range to be extended as far as 10GBit/s and upwards.
Custom fibre assemblies, from Laser Components, have extended the range of standard assemblies for telecommunications, with core sizes from 50µm diameter, and special cables for sensor and medical technologies.
Laser Components has released the PDL-1315M/TM transmitter module, constructed using a 1300nm Edge Emitting LED (ELED), coupling its optical output into single mode optical fibre.

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
