With our potential and our modern machinery, we are your solutionoriented specialist for sophisticated design parts.

The featured Singlemode (SM 9/125) metal coated fiber operates in both, 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelength ranges, according to G.652 A/B standards. The fiber is supplied with either 24 kt Gold or Aluminum coatings. As an electric conductor, these types of coatings provide the user with the ability to terminate the fiber directly to the coating, supporting hermetically sealed assemblies. Gold and Aluminum coated fibers are most capable of withstanding high temperatures and harsh environments compared to conventional coated fibers. The fibers have low stress corrosion susceptibility and offer superior mechanical protection in the most challenging harsh environments. All metal coated Singlemode fibers are 100 % quality tested to Heracle‘s stringent test procedures in accordance TIA/EIA and international Fiber Optic Test Procedures (FOTP). Custom specific tests to verify application requirements are available.

Our gold coated fiber is available for both wavelength ranges: from UV, VIS up to infrared wavelength ranges. The fiber offers excellent protection against chemical corrosion & mechanical stres and is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and harsh environments. The fiber can be terminated directly onto the coating for hermetically sealed assembly. Our Gold coated fiber has very low outgassing of volatile components. We perform 100% stringend test procedures according to international standards. Typical applications are typically for extreme conditions such as: • Aircraft, missile, rocket, turbine & jet engine monitoring • Radiation, caustic & corrosive environments • Material fatigue sensing applications • High power laser delivery systems • Ultra high vacuum applications

heracle offers germanium doped fused silica graded index multimode fibers needed for data communication at the optical wavelengths 850 nm and/or 1300 nm. The metalized optical fiber is supplied with either 24 kt Gold or Aluminum coatings. As an electric conductor, these types of coatings provide the user with the ability to terminate the fiber directly onto the coating, supporting hermetically sealed assemblies. Gold and Aluminum coated fibers are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and harsh environments. The manufacturing process utilized in the production of these fibers result in low stress corrosion susceptibility, and thus offering improved mechanical protection to the optical fiber when used in the most challenging harsh environments. All metal coated graded index fibers are 100 % quality tested to Heracle‘s stringent test procedures in accordance with the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA/EIA) and international Fiber Optic Test Procedures (FOTP).

Our aluminum coated fiber are available for both operating windows in ultraviolett and visible/near infrared wavelength ranges. In addition, heracle offers a solarisation resistant version for ultraviolett region. The fiber features a wide operating temperature range from cryogenic up to 400° C and makes it ideal for Aircraft, missile, rocket, turbine & jet engine monitoring. The aluminum layer offers a hermetic coating. The fiber can be sterialized. Termination can be directly soldered for vacuum feedthroughs & laser diode pigtailing. Its radiation resistancy, low outgassing and resistancy to organic solvents allow for operation in radiation, caustic & corrosive environments.

ORAFOL Fresnel Optics GmbH offers a wide variety of microstructured optical components in varios sizes. Among others fresnel prisms, cylindrical lenses and beamsplitters, lenticular lenses and corner cube reflectors. We provide both a catalogue of standard products that can be adapted to our customers' requirements as well as the capabilities to design and manufacture custom optical solutions including finishing processes e.g. anti-reflective coatings and nano-structures and precise CNC machining.

Surface relief diffusive microstructures (SRDM) are used for specifically distributing light in a defined angle range. They homogenize irregular light distributions as well as local intensity peaks. It is also possible to apply those diffusive microstructures directly into the plano side of all our plastic optics components. Our products will be precily trimmed to our customers requirements.

The best known microstructured optic is the Fresnel lens. Compared to a standard lens the surface of the fresnel lens is divided into a number of concentric grooves allowing for a wide range of optical effects (e.g. high-aperture (fast) large-area) while also reducing thickness, weight and cost. Fresnel lenses can be designed as a collimator, collector or with finite conjugates. They are usually corrected for spherical aberration. We offer a variety of standard designs as well as custom designs for our customers. Our lenses can be finished with a range of optical coatings and nanostructures and will be trimmed precisely to our customers requirements.

Microlens arrays are one- or two dimensional periodic patterns of small lens structures (lens dimensions up to a few millimetres). They can be used in a variety of ways, e.g. collimation or homogenization of light, depending on the design. We offer custom designs for our customers without limitations regarding the pattern in a wide range of lens sizes and overall array sizes. It is also possible to apply a microlens array directly into the plano side of all our plastic optics components. Our products can be finished with a range of optical coatings and nanostructures and will be trimmed precisely to our customers requirements.
