Research and Others

Vytran’s customers benefit from our many years of fiber splicing know-how along with the versatility of our GPX-3000 series fiber processing platform.
Our customers are continually exploring and improving fiber-based applications. From the latest in high-power fiber lasers to pioneering medical devices, our customers are behind the innovative research that becomes tomorrow’s leading products.

We have a history of developing solutions for these specialty fiber processing challenges. We’ve amassed application data for nearly 20 years, which we use to support each customer’s particular application. Our dedicated application engineering staff becomes an extension to your research team, answering difficult fiber processing questions so you can focus on other aspects of your application.

We also support research efforts with the highest precision, most versatile fiber processing equipment on the market today. We offer the industry’s largest portfolio of single-process tools and all-in-one workstations for fiber fusion splicing and glass processing. Our products splice single-mode and large-diameter fibers, polarization maintaining (PM) and non-PM fibers, photonic crystal fiber and large mode area fibers. They produce flat or precise-angle cleaves up to 15 degrees, create fiber combiners and tapers, match fiber modes, and recoat fibers with acrylic and polyimide coating.

Our GPX-3000 platform is ideal for many research applications. These unique, multipurpose systems create splices, combiners, tapers, couplers, end-caps and other fiber processes on optical fibers from 125 microns to 1.5 mm in diameter. GPX-3000 systems are built around a unique filament “furnace” assembly—a stable, intense heat source that can be precisely controlled over a wide temperature range—to ensure optimum glass processing conditions. They are meant for applications that demand accuracy, versatility and repeatability.
