Fused Bundles

The LGO Hexagon Fused Bundles© represent a high-tech solution for the client's UV and IR applications and for replacing liquid light guides. They o�er completely new possibilities in the high power and high temperature mode. By using LGO fused bundle technology we eliminate the gaps between individual fibers in the bundles. This way, LGO increase the packing density of the fiber cores.

• High transmission with no gaps between fibers• Custom-made bundles to the client's specification• High temperature resistance• Vacuum aplications• Biocompatible materials• Made according to the client’s specification• CE and ISO 13485 certified
