About Faseroptik Jena
FASEROPTIK JENA GmbH & Co. KG develops and manufactures fiber-optic components in Bucha near Jena. The product portfolio includes fiber tapers, cold-light cables, light guides and fiber-optic bundles, which are used especially in medical endoscopy, precision metrology, spectroscopy, microscopy and astronomical manufacturing. The value chain ranges from matching suitable glass combinations to grinding and coating the glass fibers through to the assembly of steam-sterilizable, autoclavable fiber-optic bundles. In addition to series production, the company offers short-term customer-specific development services as well as custom-made products based on samples or drawings. Production is based on 30 years of research and development work from the Jena Zeiss plants and is carried out by experienced skilled personnel with an extensive machine park and associated measuring and testing equipment. The quality management system is certified to DIN EN ISO 13485:2016.
