Taper

Fused fiber optic tapers offer a low-distortion method of magnifying or, more typically, reducing an image for image transfer applications. Tapers manufactured from billets produced using INCOM’s revolutionary MEGAdraw process have zero shear distortion and blemish quality higher than normally available. Our large diameter fiber optic tapers (LDFOTs) are the largest available in the world. INCOM’s tapers have many applications, including X-ray imaging, remote viewing, helmet mounted imaging, CCD coupling, image intensification, and X-ray crystallography.

Incom continues to be the leader in Large Diameter Fiber Optic Tapers (LDFOTs). We were the first to produce 135mm LDFOTs and we are the only company that produces 150mm to 200mm LDFOTs. INCOM’s patented state-of-the-art furnace design makes it possible to produce LDFOTs with near perfect image integrity. All of our tapers can be custom designed to fit into any optical system. With our variety of CNC diamond grinding equipment, we can form even the most complex shapes.
