Asahi Kasei Hollow Multi-core Fiber

Fused multi-core fibers with a hollow center.

Multi-core POF with its large number of cores emplaced in a sea of clad is a type of optical fiber capable of withstanding tight bends without causing the signal attenuation to rise significantly. Hollow multi-core fibers from Asahi Kasei can be used as highly flexible light guides, or to illuminate an image guide fiber placed through the central cavity.
