Specialty Fiber for Image & Energy:
Fiber Optics for Imaging

Fujikura manufactures a wide range of silica-based coherent image fibers for medical and industrial endoscopy. Fujikura is one of the world's leading manufacturers of silica-based Image Fiber. Our imaging fiber range has excellent image carrying characteristics with low transmission loss and high mechanical durability, hence can be used in a variety of medical and industrial applications.

Each imaging fiber we manufacture can be tailored to meet the needs of our customer's individual application. Separate elements can also be assembled to create either a semi-manufactured product or even a complete fiberscope.

FIG Series (Fujikura Image Guide)
FIG series offers cost-effective high quality image fibers ideally suited to applications where fiber width is less important, such as security and industrial applications.

FIGR Series (Fujikura Image Guide Radiation-Resistant)
FIGR series is designed for use in areas contaminated by nuclear radiation such as nuclear generating plants and high energy physics experimental laboratories.

FIGH Series (Fujikura Image Guide High Resolution)
FIGH series is characterized by ultra-thin diameter and high pixel density, it also has high durability and flexibility. Minimal size, excellent optical characteristics and affordable pricing expand the uses of these fibers to many new applications; providing vision to previously inaccessible locations.

Principle of Image Fiber:
Imaging fiber is a kind of multi-core fiber that consists of a large number of cores (pixels) set in a coherent configuration and common cladding. Each pixel can independently transmit light as with a conventional optical fiber.

An image projected on to one end of the image fiber is divided into many parts by each pixel and delivered to the other end of the fiber. Therefore the image can be transmitted as a whole over the entire length of the fiber.

Processing:
Each image fiber can be specially processed with various grades of polish, or twisting can be applied for image rotation and lens assembling. Fujikura can also create semi-manufactured or complete fiber scopes to suit each customer’s specific needs. For further details regarding assembly, polishing, twisting or terminal treatment of fibers, please contact us.
