Expertise in fiber optics

Many Terms / for the Same Technology

We use this terminology:

  • Optical fiber = raw fiber
  • Fiber optic bundle = component of the fiber optic cable
  • Fiber optic cable = light transmission cable

For over 30 years, we have been developing, manufacturing and assembling fiber optic cables in Aßlar from a wide variety of glass, quartz and plastic optical fibers for applications in optoelectronic sensor technology, laser technology and microscope illumination – in direct dialogue with our OEM customers. In addition, we manufacture coiled fiber optic bundles and extruded fiber optic cables in endless lengths, which our customers assemble themselves.

As experts in the field of development, manufacture and distribution of fiber optic components, we offer our customers special developments and prototypes in the shortest possible time, as well as larger series production according to the DIN ISO 9001 quality standard.

Sensor Fiber Optic Cables / from Synova

Fiber optic sensors are special transducers for optical measuring methods. The basis is the use of optical fibers as a medium for signal transmission of light, usually in the infrared wavelength range. The measuring methods work without contact, and the change in various parameters of the light used is evaluated. These include, above all, the intensity, wavelength (color) and polarization, as well as the transit time of the signals.

Due to the fiber-specific advantages such as small dimensions, low weight, no electrical or magnetic components and resistance to external electromagnetic influences (EMC), fiber optic sensors can be used universally.
