SCHOTT's fiber optic tapers provide a virtually distortion-free method of magnifying or minifying an image. All tapers are fabricated to customer-specific requirements and can be machined into configurations from round to round, square to square, round to square or rectangular; sizes range up to 150mm in diameter. Typical magnification ratios range up to 5:1, with other magnification ratios available upon request. SCHOTT's taper material provides for a numerical aperture of 1.0 on the small end. Common fiber sizes range from 4µm to 25µm at the large end, and are typically in the 2µm to 6µm range on the small end.
In general, SCHOTT's glass types are designed for use in the visible or near IR spectrum.
