Rigid and Flexible Optical Fiber
Rigid and Flexible Optical Fiber
Corning manufactures light guides using either rigid or flexible optical fiber.
We develop and manufacture tailored parts, specific to your context. Please contact us for more details.
Rigid optical fibers from Corning combine precise and strong light intensity as well as lifetime durability. They also offer optimal light transmission and sustain hundreds of autoclave sterilization cycles.
Their rigidity allows for easy assembly within the handpiece mechanical system, and quicker maintenance.
Applications:
Dental hand pieces
Technical specifications:
• Fiber Numeric Aperture: 0.57
• Core refractive index 1.62
• Developed length of fiber up to 120 mm
• Standard fiber diameter from 1.7 up to 2.5 mm. Other diameters upon request

Flexible optical glass fibers (silica fiber upon request) allow versatile manufacturing capabilities in various combinations: single or bifurcated models, section conversion.
The bundle can be protected by a compression resistant sleeve and equipped with specific end fittings for perfect integration into the complete system.
Applications:
• Medical analysis
• Process control
• Industrial measurement or detection
• Nuclear industry
• Aircraft equipment
