ACTIVE-FIBER

Fibres Actives

Gamme de fibres optiques actives dopées aux terres rares. Elles sont conçues pour des applications variées telles que les lasers à fibre, les amplificateurs optiques et les sources ASE.

Coractive's active fibers form the core of many high-performance photonic systems. These fibers are specifically designed and doped with rare-earth elements to enable light amplification. They are essential for manufacturing fiber lasers, optical amplifiers, and Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) sources. By mastering the production of glass preforms, Coractive precisely controls the dopant concentration and distribution, resulting in fibers with consistent and reliable optical properties. Whether for high-power industrial applications, telecommunication systems, or precision medical instruments, the active fiber product line offers high-performance solutions. Each fiber undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the required specifications, thereby ensuring optimal integration and performance in customer devices.
Our active fibers are designed for a variety of applications, including fiber lasers, optical amplifiers, and Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) sources.
We guarantee performance by controlling the entire manufacturing process, from the production of the rare-earth doped glass preform to the final fiber testing, ensuring reliable and consistent optical properties.
PASSIVE-FIBERS

Fibres Passives

Ligne complète de fibres optiques passives non dopées, à simple et double gaine. Elles sont conçues pour être compatibles avec les fibres actives de Coractive et d'autres normes de l'industrie.

Coractive's passive fibers are fundamental components for transporting light in fiber optic systems. Available in single-clad and double-clad configurations, these undoped fibers are meticulously designed to match Coractive's active fibers, ensuring efficient, low-loss signal transmission. Compatibility is key to minimizing splice loss and maximizing output power in fiber lasers and amplifiers. The double-clad design is particularly important for high-power applications, as it allows for efficient pumping of the associated active fiber. In addition to their compatibility with in-house products, these passive fibers adhere to industry standards, making them versatile for various applications. Their manufacturing is subject to the same strict quality controls as all Coractive fibers, ensuring precise geometry and reliable performance.
Compatibility is crucial to ensure a low-loss connection between the fibers, which maximizes the efficiency and overall performance of the optical system, such as a fiber laser or amplifier.
Yes, Coractive offers a complete line of passive fibers including both single-clad and double-clad designs to meet various application needs.

Services

Conception et Fabrication sur Mesure

Service de développement de fibres optiques personnalisées pour répondre aux exigences et spécifications uniques d'un client. Le processus couvre la conception, la fabrication et les tests.

Coractive specializes in the design and manufacturing of custom optical fibers, offering a fully tailored solution to clients with specific needs. The process begins with an in-depth communication phase to precisely understand the requirements and specifications of the intended application. From there, Coractive's team of experts designs the fiber, leveraging their ability to produce their own glass preforms to create unique profiles and compositions. This flexibility allows for the development of products perfectly aligned with the client's technological ambitions, regardless of the required fiber volume. Each custom fiber is then manufactured and tested with the same rigor as standard products, ensuring performance and quality that meet expectations. This service enables Coractive's customers to become and remain leaders in their markets by integrating innovative and perfectly adapted optical fibers.
The process begins with a discussion with our team to define your needs and specifications. We then proceed with the design, preform manufacturing, fiber drawing, and testing to deliver a product in line with your ambitions.
Coractive works with clients to meet their needs, regardless of the volume of fiber required, whether for prototypes or large-scale production.

Fabrication de Préformes de Verre

Production interne de préformes de verre, l'étape initiale de la fabrication de fibres optiques. Ce contrôle permet une grande flexibilité de conception et garantit une haute qualité.

Manufacturing its own glass preforms is a key differentiator for Coractive. By internalizing this critical step, the company ensures complete control over the quality and properties of its optical fibers from the very beginning of the process. This capability allows for the design of a wide range of products, from standard fibers to fully custom solutions, by precisely adjusting the chemical composition and structure of the preform. The preform production process is at the cutting edge of technology and meets the requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 standard. For customers, this translates into an assurance of consistent quality, greater innovation in the types of fibers available, and the ability to develop fibers with very specific characteristics for niche applications. It is the foundation upon which the high performance of all Coractive optical fibers is built.
Manufacturing our own glass preforms gives us complete control over quality and design, allowing us to create a wide range of products and ensure compliance with ISO 9001:2015 standards throughout the process.
Étirage de Fibre

Étirage de Fibre

Service d'étirage de fibres optiques réalisé sur les tours de Coractive. Ce processus est opéré par des experts pour un contrôle précis, une réduction des coûts et des délais de production rapides.

Fiber drawing is the stage where the glass preform is heated and stretched to form an optical fiber a few hundred microns in diameter. Coractive operates its own drawing towers, which is a major strategic advantage. This in-house capability not only helps to minimize costs and speed up production times, but also allows for precise control over the fiber's dimensions and properties. The equipment is operated by a team of experts who monitor and adjust the process in real-time to ensure the best possible optical fiber quality. Control over tension, drawing speed, and temperature is essential for obtaining fibers with uniform geometric and optical characteristics. This drawing expertise is a critical component of Coractive's integrated solution, ensuring the production of reliable and high-performance fibers.
Having our own drawing towers helps minimize costs, enables faster production times, and gives us precise control over the drawing process to ensure the best optical fiber quality.
