Scottish based company Optoscribe is pleased to announce the addition of a new 8 channel multicore fibre fanout device.
Unlike other approaches, the 3D Optofan Series offers a standard 8 core configuration that can be easily customised to suit Multicore fibre geometry. This enables users to dramatically increase the amount of data that can be transferred across an optical fibre, thereby reducing cabling costs and dimensions whilst maximising data bandwidth. Ideal for applications where space is at a premium and high bandwidth connectivity is essential.
The new 8 channel fanout joins the 3D Optofan Series of products that already include 4,7, and 19 channel devices.
About Optoscribe
The hurdles often associated with the adoption of new technology are overcome by using our unique waveguide technology. We provide innovative products that are set to revolutionise the optical telecommunications network and help shape the future.
Our accurate 3D embedded waveguides allow the fabrication of devices that are impossible to produce using solely planar technologies, opening new possibilities and integration scenarios.
We use proven and tested manufacturing processes to enable simple volume scalability and ensure that our products are designed to meet the needs of the telecommunications markets.
Our 3D Optofan Series and 3D MMux Photonic Lantern combine multiple components into a single platform to enable high throughput, low insertion loss and a broad flat spectral response over telecoms bands. This leads to the transmission of high data rates, decreased footprint and reduced assembly costs, for both short and long haul communications.
Optoscribe was founded in 2010 and has become a recognised supplier of trusted, high performance 3D waveguide based solutions.
Formed as a spin-out from the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at Heriot Watt University, Optoscribe is built on a strong foundation of knowledge and expertise in the application of photonic technologies.
Optoscribe is located in Livingston, between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow.
