SQS will present its current portfolio of products and services from areas of fiber optics, optoelectronics and micro machining at the booth number B3.513.

Come and see us, you will be welcome!

Laser World of PHOTONICS is the International Trade Fair for Photonics Components, Systems and Applications, that has been held in Munich since 1973. It combines technology with industrial application sectors for the widest variety of industries and uses.

Every two years key players of the photonics industry come to Munich to meet at the industry’s most important marketplace. The fair gives participants from more than 70 countries a complete overview of all topics that pertain to photonics on 55,000 square meters of exhibition space.

SQS is involved in creation of an ARINC 836A standard for small cabin enclosures Type II – Miniature MRP (Modular Rack Principle) called Mini Modules (MM).

The new standard creates a concept for the installation of optical and electrical devices in the cabin of the aircraft, with an emphasis on smaller dimensions, less weight, resistance of module and frame connectors to operating errors, modularity and interchangeability of individual modules.

Mini modules can be used in all industrial applications where electronic or optical components of the system will be operated under demanding conditions, especially with respect to vibrations and a wide range of operating temperatures. For example in modern aircrafts with composite fuselage, the MM distributed system can deploy Mini Modules with electronics to multiple locations in the fuselage to provide a very efficient drain of the large amount of heat that the electronics generate.

SQS offers Mini Modules in all ARINC 836A variants equipped with its own design of locking mechanism ensuring a defined insertion and locking of the Mini Module. The design of the locking mechanism by SQS is not part of the ARINC 836A standard and it is protected by the European and American patent registered under number EP 2811326 resp. US 9086549. SQS offers Customers who would like to produce Mini Modules individually to use a license for the patented locking mechanism. Detailed license conditions will be sent to specific customers on request.

Due to our new process of active alignment of fibers onto lenses we are achieving minimum offset as well as angular deviation of outgoing light beams.

A micro-lens array is available with PM fibers as well as with high light power variants.

We would be pleased to welcome you at our stand no. D4b. The presentation of SQS is focused on new products based on company’s unique R&D and manufacturing capabilities resulting in combination of know-how and skills in three very demanding technical disciplines: fiber optics, optoelectronics, and micro machining. SQS is going to introduce especially new versions of optical fiber feedthroughs, fibre bundles, high-power and PM components, and also new activities in optoelectronic production and micro machining.

The W3 FAIR is an interdisciplinary networking trade fair for the fields of optics, electronics and mechanics. It provides these high-tech sectors with a new, multidisciplinary forum for information, innovation and contact in the traditional location of Wetzlar in Germany.

The W3 FAIR promotes communication and networking among experts and paves the way for innovative solutions and new business - a real model for success.

Dear business partners, dear friends: We wish you a Merry Christmas, and luck, good health and a lot of personal and professional success in the coming year of 2017.

We have expanded our portfolio of vacuum feedthroughs. Now we are offering such an adaptor featuring feedthroughs, which are able to seal polarization maintaining fiber (PMf) within themselves with minimum insertion loss and maximum extinction ratio.

These feedthroughs are set in a wall of a flange, providing interfacing between normal and high vacuum environment.

On December 9, 2016 SQS Fiber Optics received a grant decision. The innovation project of "Purchase of machinery and equipment for prototyping" received support from the Operational Program Enterprise and Innovation for Competitiveness, support program Potential 1st call.

The main objective of the project is the implementation of laser and CNC micromachining for development of high precision mechanical parts of fiber optic and optoelectronic products.

The project includes the acquisition, installation and commissioning of machinery and equipment for the production of prototype products developed by the research and development department of the company. The aim is to enable the development department to manufacture prototypes of precision mechanical parts of various fiber optic and optoelectronic products, incl. solutions for demanding industrial applications and specific customized solutions. The aim of the project is to increase the competitiveness of the company. The project will in particular contribute to streamline and speed up development works and thus accelerate the implementation of the results of industrial research and development into production.

SQS has expanded its production program by optical fiber feedthrougs with pigtail interface. The new versions of feedthroughs had been designed for applications in high pressure environment exceeding pressures of 100 MPa. SQS may offer these high-pressure optical fiber feedthroughs in standard or custom-made designs. The optical fiber sealed inside the feedthrough shows minimal insertion loss. The optimized optical fiber feedthroug design provides time stability of all transmission parameters in all operating modes.

Such optical splitters split continuous or pulsed optical signal from the input fiber into the output fibers with highly uniform optical power. They are suitable for visible and near infra-red wavelength range where PLCs are not available. Input fibers are fitted with SMA or FC connectors with metal ferrule. Output fibers are with LC/PC or other types of connectors.

SQS Vláknová optika a.s. extended its product line of fiber arrays by a 2D fiber array with polarization maintaining fiber (PM). We are capable to manufacture PM 2D array with PM fiber according to customer requirements with extinction ratio (ER) typically larger than 25 dB and the angular deviation of propagating axis of polarization in the plane of 2D array is typically better than /- 2,5 degrees.

Into the section of fiber-optic feedthroughs with adapter interface were added two instructional assembly videos. One of them shows assembly of a feedthrough into a CF40 flunge and the other instructional video shows the exchange of ferrule's sleeves.

The media converters are designed to convert 10/100Base-T signals to/from 100Base-FX fiber signals. It is used to extend the connection distance between two Ethernet devices via fiber cable transparently with no performance degradation.
