Simplified Optical Design Solutions with Innovative Fiber-Tip Coatings

Traditional optical filters are typically manufactured directly on glass substrates and cut to desired sizes. As instrument designers consider how to make their products more accessible, portable, and easy to use, the size of components is often a consideration.

In this webinar, Washkevich will present a manufacturing approach for miniaturizing optical filters to be used with optical fibers to enable device miniaturization without performance compromise.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the unique benefits of fiber-tip coatings in optical design.
• Learn how spectrally complex filters can improve light discrimination and system performance.
• Explore the use cases for coated fiber tips.
