Timbercon Inc. announces bare fiber processing for electro-optic, communcations, and sensing applications

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., 3 Jan. 2007. Timbercon Inc., a fiber optic products and services company providing connectivity solutions, has announced bare fiber processing designed to optimize bare fiber coupling efficiencies for a variety of precision optical applications.

Timbercon bare fibers offer a specialized and customizable solution to applications requiring precision conical, chiseled, angled, or flat fiber tips. In addition to improving coupling, bare fibers can be lensed, eliminating the need for discreet lens systems for some applications. Traditionally used for optoelectronic and passive device termination, custom bare fibers are now being utilized in a number of communications, medical, and sensing applications.

Timbercon bare fibers are available in single mode, multimode, and polarization maintaining fiber types with a variety of standard and custom polishes, angles, and lensed end finishes.
