INCOM'S FIBEROPTIC TAPERS
INCOM continues to be the leader in Large Diameter Fiberoptic Tapers (LDFOTs). We were the first to produce 135mm LDFOTs and we are the only company that produces 150mm to 200mm LDFOTs. INCOM's patented state-of-the-art furnace design makes it possible to produce LDFOTs with near perfect image integrity. Also available is INCOM's revolutionary MEGAdraw (zero-shear) process that provides distortion-free fiberoptic material for all high quality taper requirements. All of our tapers can be custom designed to fit into any optical system. With our variety of CNC diamond grinding equipment, we can form even the most complex shapes.
