Fiber Optic Plate(FOP) can be used as a relay component for conveying image from one side to another side.
Surfaces of FOP can be made into different shapes like Concave,Convex,Step,Flat, which is easier for coupling to different devices and system. (e.g concentric camera).
FOP can also act as optical isolator, separating input and output space. And absorb optical crosstalk among fibers.

    Specification

    • Single Fiber diameter

      Smaller fiber size means higher resolution. (2.5um = 218lp/mm , 6um = 114um )

      • 2.5um
      • 3um
      • 4um
      • 6um

    • Maximum Size (Diagonal)

      Production cost will increase sharply once diagonal surpass 130mm. If you need a bigger size, please contact us.

      • Max. size: Φ200mm

    • Thickness

      With a larger size of FOP, the minimum thickness required will also go up in order to maintain the structure. Usually thickness will go around 1mm - 3mm.

      • Minimum 0.2mm
      • Typical 1-3mm
      • High Range 5mm+

    • EMA Absorber

      EMA are special fibers insert in-between the standard fibers. They are using to absorb stray light between fibers. But at a cost of lowering the overall transmission.

      • Interstitial EMA (Left)
      • Without EMA (Right)

    • Numerical Aperture

      Numerical Aperture are decided by the material using to produce the FOP.

      • NA = 1.0 (LEFT)
      • NA = 0.8 (RIGHT)

    • Transmission

      sFOP are produced from multi-component glass. Which has the highest transmission in VIS to NIR range.

      Tested a sFOP of 3mm thickness, with EMA absorber, collimated light.

      • 70% - 82% (400nm - 2500nm)

    Resolution

    • 4µm FOP Sample

      143 linepair / mm

    • 6µm FOP Sample

      90.5 linepair / mm

    Applications Examples

    Concentric / Monocentric Camera

    • The FOP is used to couple this spherical focal surface to a flat image sensor.
    • The FOP acts as an interface between the curved focal surface and the flat image sensor.
    • It has a spherical input surface matching the focal surface curvature and a flat output surface matching the image sensor.
    • The FOP consists of millions of optical fibers arranged in a hexagonal pattern.
