In astronomy a star is tracked over time with the spectrum being transmitted to a spectrometer. A square fiber offers a more stable means of transmission than that of a circular core fiber as the spatial power distribution is more constant. Good image scrambling is characteristic of the square core fiber and together with its low focal ratio degradation (FRD) improves image processing making them ideal for astronomy applications.
When used with diode lasers which give a square-shaped output, the square core fibers offer greater coupling efficiencies and a very homogeneous power distribution on the output end. In laser applications such as surface pre-treatment, materials can be processed in a more uniform fashion than is possible with a circular beam due to less overlapping. The square output beam reduces the need for beam shaping optics.
CeramOptec's non-circular core silica optical fibers are available with square cores with edge lengths from 50 to 1000 microns in NA's from 0.12 to 0.37 and wavelengths from deep UV to NIR. Other shapes are available upon request.
