As an independent consultancy we are able to offer advice on most aspects of optical fibre technology. We have many years of experience in the design of optical test equipment and in fibre measurement technology, including the following parameters: Chromatic dispersion Spectral attenuation Multimode bandwidth Mode-field diameter Effective area Cut-off wavelength Fibre and coating geometry Fibre ribbon geometry Preform analysis Component measurements A particular service that has proved useful to the industry is the preparation of feasibility studies. A lot of time and money can be saved by thoroughly researching, for example, a new measurement method before committing a design to manufacture. With our mechanical, optical and software design expertise, we are able to advise and assist on all aspects of product development, including the manufacture and testing of prototypes. Busy engineers, who often don't have the time to keep up with the latest developments in a fast moving industry, have benefited from our Technology Review service. We can carry out a thorough search of the published technical and patent literature and prepare 'state-of-the-art' reviews on any aspect of fibre and integrated optics. These reviews have also proved popular as training materials for engineers who are new to fibre technology. Intellectual Property is often among the most valuable assets of 'high-tech' companies. Our Patent Search service can provide you with essential background information when deciding whether to invest time and money in filing a patent application. Conversely, if you decide to go straight to manufacture without the cover of a patent, our Patent Search service can also provide you with information to guard against possible infringements of existing patents. In recent years fibre standards bodies have been specifying increasingly complex measurement procedures which require expert knowledge of mathematical techniques such as regression and frequency analysis. Using powerful Mathcad software we can help analyse your measurement data and assist in the development of new algorithms and data analysis techniques. Visit our Optical Design page |
