Andor fiber optic modules

Andor fiber optic modules provide high-resolution, high-throughput coupling between scintillators and cameras, enhancing imaging performance for scientific and high-energy applications.

Overview

Andor Technology, part of Oxford Instruments, offers a range of fiber optic modules designed to integrate with their scientific cameras, spectrographs, and high-energy detection systems. These modules are used to couple scintillators or imaging relays to detectors, providing protection for sensitive sensors, improving spatial resolution, and extending the field of view beyond the active area of the sensor. They are compatible with Andor's EMCCD, sCMOS, and CCD cameras, including the Zyla, iKon, and Newton series.

Key Features

High Resolution and Photon Throughput: Fiber optic designs maximize photon transmission from the scintillator to the detector, ensuring high image fidelity and minimal signal loss. Modular Architecture: Supports a wide range of scintillators, fiber-optic tapers, and filters, allowing customization for specific applications such as X-ray materials imaging, neutron tomography, or biomedical imaging. Protection and Flexibility: Fiber coupling protects the camera sensor from high-energy photons while enabling flexible experimental setups, including free-space lens-based coupling for maximum modularity.

High-

Speed Imaging: Certain modules, like the Zyla 5. 5 HF fiber-optic coupled sCMOS, support 100 frames per second with ultra-low readout noise, ideal for fast transient or multi-acquisition experiments.

Applications

Andor fiber optic modules are widely used in: High-energy X-ray and neutron detection for indirect imaging. Medical and biomedical imaging, including non-invasive diagnostics. Materials science and process control, where high-resolution imaging is critical.

Spectroscopy and microscopy, integrating seamlessly with Andor's pre-aligned and pre-calibrated spectrographs and detectors.

Customization and Support

Andor provides bespoke fiber optic solutions tailored to specific experimental requirements. Their technical team offers one-to-one guidance, including design, development, and testing services to optimize performance. Extended warranty and support packages are available, including on-site and remote assistance, ensuring long-term reliability and performance of the fiber optic modules.

Conclusion

Andor fiber optic modules are highly versatile, high-performance solutions for coupling detectors with scintillators or optical relays. They enhance spatial resolution, protect sensitive sensors, and support high-speed, high-fidelity imaging across a wide range of scientific and industrial applications, with options for customization to meet specific experimental needs.
