Laser processing offers unique advantages for materials processing in an ever-increasing range of applications whilst our optical fiber processing services enable volume production of high quality optical component designs.
From micro holes with diameters down to a few microns with sub-micron tolerances to laser cutting optical elements directly on the end of an optical fiber, laser processing and micro-machining provides a highly versatile engineering solution. A variety of laser technologies are available, providing a toolbox that can deliver a range of precision machining processes. This creates a highly versatile capability for machining exceptionally accurate micro and macro-scale features in virtually all material types and combinations.
OpTek’s laser processing capability can be divided into two key offerings: Material Processing Services and Optical Fiber Processing. These can be further broken down into a number of core processes as follows:
| PRECISION MACHINING | OPTICAL FIBER PROCESSING |
|---|---|
| Laser Drilling | Laser Cleaving |
| Laser Milling | Laser Lensing |
| Scribing & Dicing | End Caps |
| Slitting | Laser Stripping |
| Patterning & texturising | Fiber Assembly Units (FAU) |
| Laser Marking | |
| Wire Skiving & Stripping |
