Source: Electro Optical Components, Inc.A new generation of flexible and robust high power fiber cables is now available. The incorporation of cool high power connectors, HP-SMA and D80, and a special laser fiber structure enables them to deliver high power densities with an increased life expectancy.

FlexiRay® cables from art photonics are designed for high power and bright laser beams. They are suitable for a range of applications including laser rangefinders, laser processing equipment and beam delivery components. They are available in a range of core diameters up to 800 micrometers, with several jacket materials and in cable lengths from 5 centimeters up to 50 meters.

The cables are produced for various lasers in a broad spectral range. They feature fluorine-doped fused silica fiber cladding and a pure fused silica core. They are supplied with a standard numerical aperture (NA) of 0.22 which has a full acceptance angle of 25 degrees, while NAs of either 0.12 or 0.26 are also available.
