All next generation Fibre Optic Multiplexers are supplied with the new broadband fibres exclusive to Avantes. Broadband fibres combine the advantages of high OH solarisation resistant fibre for the UV with low OH fibre for the NIR.
Broadband fibre is a huge leap forward for fibre optic spectroscopy applications which have historically been forced to choose between UV/VIS and NIR fibre or combine two types of fibre into an assembly making it more costly and complex.
Benno Oderkerk, founder and CEO of Avantes says, “Our Fibre Optic Multiplexers see a wide variety of usage in our customer base. The great advantage is the flexibility in which measurements can be done. Furthermore, the extensive programming possibilities mean that even in setups with different integration times, the Avantes FOM will allow a suitable setting.”
The FOM is available in three different versions: 1 x 16, 2 x 8 and 4 x 4. As standard, they are supplied with 400μm fibre optic cables. Any other diameter is available on request.
