CASIX has released a range of etalons to its Fibre Optics (optical communications) range.
Multiwave Photonics has released the Higher Power Broadband ASE Source at 1um (BBS-1um-45-U), which is a new addition to its Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) fibre sources family.
nLight has released its very large mode area (LMA), low numerical aperture (NA), all erbium fibres manufactured using its Direct Nanoparticle Deposition (DND) active fibre production technology.
The Optran UVNS (UV Non-Solarising) Silica/Silica Fibre and PowerLightGuide have a long-term performance with 40,000 continuous, unfiltered hours of level, steady transmission at 95 per cent of the original output.
Fibercore Limited has released its proprietary, field proven, all-silica erbium-ytterbium co-doped, dual-clad fibre.
nLight has released a Ytterbium fibre product series known as LIEKKI Yb1200, which offers extremely high dopant concentrations resulting in short application lengths.
CeramOptec has released vacuum-sealed fibre optic assemblies, which transmit UV, visible and NIR optical energy in and out of vacuum environments.
CeramOptec has released its Optran Polyimide UV/WF polyimide coated silica/silica fibres, which are ideal for applications in high temperature environments.

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.)
