Krell Technologies has introduced the Radian System for processing bare optical fibres. Fibres can be polished at user selectable angles for R&D applications and production.
Scitec Instruments has released a Visual Fault Locator for visually identifying breaks or microbends in optical fibres. The instrument can also be used for fibre identification in an optical fibre bundle.
SEDI Fibres Optiques has released a connector for very high power laser delivery systems used in industrial or medical applications and compatible to the Mitsubishi design.
Krell Technologies has released Rev, which is a system for processing fibre optic connectors.
AMS Technologies has launched Fiberguide Industries' line of large core multimode optical fibres.
AMS Technologies released its GPX-3400 glass processing station, in combination with the LDC-200 Large Diameter Fibre Cleaver from the Vytran Corporation.
AMS Technologies has released its Comet laser cleaver, which is manufactured by Sagitta and complements its product range of fibre optic instruments.
PMC-Sierra has released a Gigabit-speed, multi-service fibre access gateway device with an integrated ITU-T G.984 GPON interface.
BBN International has launched a range of fibre termination solutions including the FAST Series and Splice-On-Connectors.
BBN International has launched an addition to its Agiltron family of optical switches within its existing range of fibre optic solutions.

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.)
