Request InfoSABICRIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 6, 2022 — The ULTEM™ 3310TD resin from SABIC is designed for optical transceiver collimator lenses used in single-mode fiber optic systems. The polyetherimide resin delivers a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than that of standard ULTEM grades, optimizing the dimensional stability of the collimator lenses and ensuring alignment with single-mode fibers. The grade provides NIR transmission without degrading signal quality. As a potential replacement for glass, ULTEM 3310TD resin offers the efficiency of high-volume micro-molding, avoiding the need for costly secondary operations, and...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra January 2023 IssueDigital Fiber Optic GyroscopeThe Boreas D70 digital fiber optic gyroscope from Advanced Navigation is an inertial navigation system for surveying, mapping, and navigation across subsea, marine, land, and air applications. ...Photonics.com 1/28/2022Multi-core Optical FibersMulti-core Optical Fibers from Armadillo SIA are designed for laser power delivery applications, feature control of power density, and laser beam shape using different cores or multiple cores...Photonics.com 2/15/2022Handheld Optical Power MeterThe OP310 Handheld Optical Power Meter from OptoTest Inc. is a full-featured, rugged, and accurate measurement instrument for installers, contractors, and field technicians who need to test power,...BioPhotonics Nov/Dec 2022 IssueRadiation-Resistant Optical FiberThe Optran® UV NSS Fiber from Armadillo SIA provides deep-UV solarization and radiation resistance.
