SQS developed a special multi-fiber bundle made of 62 multimode step index profile fibers. The output ends of the fibers are terminated in a special designed fiber array, where the individual fibers are positioned at different substrate depths according to a predefined radius. The input ends are terminated in two SMA connectors, in that each of them contains ferrule with a special 2D flower pattern positions for 31 fibers. At the same time we are able to provide for, as per customer’s request, arbitrary predefined fiber connecting pattern between input and output interfaces. Moreover, fiber array could be housed in by us manufactured “customized” flange and fiber bundles placed in protective tubing.

We are also capable to anti-reflection coat fibers’ end faces in SMA connectors.

Design of this presented solution can be, upon consultation with SQS, modified as per customer’s requirements.

SQS is the main partner of the regional job fair which will be held on September 4 in the Masaryk Theatre in Jicin.

Job seekers may personally meet with potential employers from the Jicin region, and get information on current job offers or general employment opportunities in participating companies.

During the event SQS will present possible opportunities for application of your knowledge and skills in our company.

LASER World of PHOTONICS, being held from June 22–25, shed light on the industry. The enormous energy inherent in the topic was tangible at the leading trade fair in Munich: there were around nine per cent more exhibitors (1,227) and more than ten per cent more visitors (more than 30,000) in attendance and a new hall was opened. Concrete applications attracted keen interest.
With photonics to the car of the future Photonics is revolutionizing automotive production: lasers cut car bodies, image processing ensures safe navigation within the traffic, laser headlights turn night into day.
Additive manufacturing for miracles of production and more … Additive manufacturing is used in lightweight construction, dental technology and medicine: that was demonstrated by various exhibitors as well as by the special show “3DPrinting – Additive Manufacturing”.
Photonics affects all fields of endeavor Internet, Smartphone, car, road traffic, aviation, food and beverages, medical operation, disease diagnosis: Photonics is intelligent, is part of our everyday lives and is transforming our world.
The International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies declared by UNESCO was a golden thread running not just through the trade fair but also through the World of Photonics Congress in the International Congress Center Munich (ICM).
Photonics industry has momentum The outlook is good. According to the recent study by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and trade associations SPECTARIS, VDMA and ZVEI the global turnover of the Photonics industry in 2014 was around 350 billion euros. It is due to hit 615 billion euros by 2020.

Fiber optic patch cords and pigtails with improved protection by stainless steel jacket for various aplications in harsh industrial environments (incl. chemical industry, machinery, spectroscopy, medicine, laboratory etc.) Optical fibers are available for UV/VIS/NIR spectral range from 180nm up to 2500 nm.

Our product gallery offers optical fibers with the core diameter ranging from 8µm to 1000 µm.

We offer mostly multimode optical fibers, singlemode fibers on request. Our optical fibres/cables are assembled with SMA or FC/PC (APC) connectors, other types of fiber optic connectors on request.

These fibers are coated with stainless steel braiding jacket. Wide variety of PVC protective jackets also available.
Another jacket versions upon request.

SQS developed and implemented Lever ASsisted INserting (LASIN) Locking mechanism for housing-rack modules with optical as well as electrical contacts according to aeronautical industry standard ARINC. The lever of this LASIN lock mechanism, under correct handling, provides for controlled three axial insertion of housings into racks while eliminating human factor error in contacts' creation.
In the case of incorrect handling, i.e. excessive force on the lever after contacts' creation, the design of the locking mechanism ensures that, in the case of damage, that damage will occur on the front more visible part of the rack.
Housings and racks of 5 different sizes can be arbitrarily connected among themselves and then as one unit attached to a frame of carrying vehicle.

We would be pleased to see you at our booth no. B3.524 at Messe München exhibition grounds between June 22 and 25, 2015. Please see also the enclosed invitation card.

The United Nations (UN) General Assembly 68th Session proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015).

The International Year of Light is a global initiative which will highlight to the citizens of the world the importance of light and optical technologies in their lives, for their futures, and for the development of society. It is an unique opportunity to inspire, educate, and connect on a global scale.

IYL 2015 programs will promote improved public and political understanding of the central role of light in the modern world while also celebrating noteworthy anniversaries in 2015—from the first studies of optics 1,000 years ago to discoveries in optical communications that power the Internet today.

The year 2015 was chosen as the International Year of light because just this year we celebrate the "round" anniversaries of several very important events related to light:

1,000 years since the release of "Book of Optics" in 1015 (Ibn Al Haytham)

200 years since the discovery of the wave nature of light in 1815 (Augustin Fresnel)

150 years since the foundation of electromagnetic theory in 1865 (James Clerk Maxwell)

100 years since the foundation of the theory of general relativity involving light in space and time 1915 (Albert Einstein)

50 years since the discovery of fiber optic technology in 1965 (Charles Kuen Kao)

Dear business partners, we wish you a Merry Christmas and good health, happiness, personal and professional success into the new year of 2015.

At the same time, we thank you for your cooperation in 2014 and look forward to continue working with you in 2015.

Day of Photonics is an annual event that promotes “photonics” towards the general public. Companies, research organizations, and organizations involved in photonics will reach out to their communities to raise awareness about what is photonics and why it is important, and promote the role of their organization in the photonics ecosystem and value chain. At the occasion of the anniversary, activities are organized over numerous countries and encompass all kinds of demonstrations on the impact of photonics on our day-to-day life.

Why the 21 October? On 21 October 1983 the General Conference of Weights And Measures adopted the value of 299,792.458 km/s for the speed of light.

Photonics includes all technologies that use light, create light or modify light.

Photonics technologies include: LED lighting, Photovoltaic solar energy, Photonics Integrated Circuits, Optical components, Lasers, Sensors, Imaging, Displays, Projectors, Optic fiber, and other photonic related technologies which find applications in health, security, agriculture, food, communication, transportation, …

Photonics is one of Key Enabling Technologies that will be the main driving force behind the development of future goods and services. Photonics is technology that will ultimately have the same impact on society as the electronics industry.

Photonics technologies are amazing, fascinating, and you find them everywhere: in communication, entertainment, medical, manufacturing, automotive, energy, lighting, agriculture, photovoltaic, security, art, … Whether you are looking for a new career, a student that needs to make a choice for your studies, if you are a financial investor or a politician that influences policies, think PHOTONICS!
