Side-emitting optical fiber
Light is emitted from the side of the optical fiber. This can be used for side illumination and for removing cladding modes in optical fibers.
The side of the optical fiber is processed to emit light from the side. The operating wavelength ranges from the visible region to near-infrared (approximately 400 to 1700 nm). The incident power into the optical fiber can be up to about 1 W. The processed part is protected by a plastic or glass tube. The size of the optical fiber has been successfully produced from φ200 µm to φ1000 µm (1 mm). This product has been developed as a probe for photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT is a treatment method that involves administering photosensitizing agents such as laserferrin and irradiating with laser light of a specific wavelength to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), selectively killing only cancer cells while causing minimal damage to normal tissues. This technology can be applied not only to humans but also to veterinary medicine for small animals such as dogs and cats. For the light source for PDT, you can use the light source from Arnea Co., Ltd., which is attached in the catalog. If you are interested in joint research or practical partnerships, we look forward to hearing from you.
