Successful kick-off: Thuringian growth core for innovative optical fibers

The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research supports the project partners with a subsidy amount of 10 million Euros. Official start of the project was January 2017.

18 companies and 3 research institutions form the regional growth core »Tailored Optical Fibers (TOF)« and receive financial support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research for the next three years.

The alliance will now focus on content: SMEs and larger companies will cooperate with research institutions in order to develop a joint technology platform for tailored fibers in new photonic applications. The involved enterprises intend to market the new fibers worldwide subsequent to the project. Potential fields of application are: sophisticated fiber optic metrology in industry and medicine, novel light sources for laser and material processing, or light emitting textiles.

Besides innovative high-tech products, such as high temperature fibers for resource exploration, fiber sensors for keyhole surgery, or smart surfaces for vehicle interiors, the cooperation will develop an efficient network, which will prospectively deliver tailored solutions for individual customer requirements in other market segments. In the long run, this approach will help to increase the companies’ turnover and create new jobs in the region.

For the first time, manufacturers of optical fibers join forces with component and system builders to establish a powerful alliance. The companies with residence in Thuringia and Saxony have long-time experience in the field of manufacturing, processing and application of specially designed fibers. For three years to come, the specialists will work together to achieve product and technology leadership, and contribute 5m Euros of equity capital to the project. To support the marketing and organization of the project, the growth core is accompanied by OptoNet.

Laserdiode Socketdriver (LSD) at Photonics West

This year at Photonics West Fibotec presents one of the Laser Diode Drivers with socket in an improved version. The socket takes laser devices in butterfly-package. This is a simple solution to operate these devices in a lab. The standard version of the Laserdevice Socketdriver (LSDP) is done for diodes with „pum laser pinout“ and an operating current up to 2 A. The operational parameters of the laser diode or SLD, being plugged by the customer, are set manually, or through a remote interface (USB). The new version has a touch display improving the easiness to use. This display makes it possible to set laser and TEC parameters and read it out during operation. The Laserdevice Socketdriver has been designed in detail for institutes, R&D departments and small test jobs in QA departments, that all work with laser components that should not be soldered permanently.

Zwanzig20-Initiative Carbon Concrete Composite

At the moment 79 partners will cooperate for the prerequisites needed to replace steel in concrete of new construction buildings by carbon starting at a time in 10 years. The combination of steel and concrete, being the most widely used construction material, is having disadvantages: It consumes to much ressources, is responsible for high CO2-emission and the lifetime is just 40-80 years. Many buildings, such as bridges, become a risk.

Fibotec Fiberoptics is a founding member of the association being the formal setting for this cooperation within the next years and that has been founded in Dresden on Jan, 22nd 2014. Fibotec´s focus in this consortium is the integration of sensing elements that both support the idea of the later "intelligent building structures" and the test methods for new Carbon Concrete structures within the upcoming R&D phase. Fiber optic sensing. as developed and produced by Fibotec, only is part of the needed sensing technology. But it is highly synergetic with the use of Carbon fiber in concrete. Fibotec does the hardware development of interrogators in a group of partners which add their competence in sensor development, sensor and fiber integration, and the scientific background development.

The Federal Ministry for Education and Research is funding the consortium C3 (C-Cube) within the frame program Zwanzig20 with 45 Mio € by the year 2020. Further information can be received at the C3-web site.

Correlations-OTDR in routine maintanance of high-speed trains

Fibotec and Yokogawa develope an application-specific Correlation-OTDR for routine-maintanance of German high-speed (ICE-) trains

The custom instrument is the key for solving a task when servicing high-speed ICE-trains in the Hamburg-Eidelstedt site of the Deusche Bahn Fernverkehr AG. Conventional Puls-OTDR cannot be used with the multimode optical fiber that is interrupted by lensed-connectors because of their dead-zone. According to Mr. Reiter, who is in charge of the service-process at the Hamburg-Eidelstedt facility, the time for checking the optical link was reduced to 1/4 from up to 16 hours to 3-4 hours now.

The hardware of the instrument used with the 100µm-core optical fiber had to be modified and an application specific software was created.

Additional information is available in the German publication Hausmagazin No. 18 der Yokogawa Measurement Technologies GmbH.
