Development Activities
|
Development continues in optimizing higher length-to-diameter ratios and increased cross-sectional areas within the arrays. Pore geometry and packing patterns can be customized.
|
Linear Arrays
|
Linear arrays consist of close-packed pattern with individual pore sizes ranging from 50 microns up to 1 mm. For optical applications they can be supplied with absorbing fibers (EMA) to reduce optical cross talk.
