In-Depth Q&A: Why is 1700nm the "Gold Standard" for Medical Imaging?

Q: Why can't standard 1310nm or 1550nm fiber optic rotary joints meet the demands of deep-tissue imaging?

A: In biological tissues, light scattering is the primary obstacle limiting imaging depth. The 1700nm wavelength falls within the "Third Near-Infrared Window," where the scattering coefficient is exceptionally low. By utilizing JINPAT specialized 1700nm rotary joints, researchers can visualize deeper blood vessels and nerve endings without obstruction from tissue "haze."

 

Q: What makes a large core diameter (200/220 μm) essential?

A: High-resolution imaging often requires laser pulses with immense instantaneous energy. The end faces of standard single-mode fibers are extremely fragile and prone to laser-induced burnout. Our 200/220 μm large-core design significantly increases the surface area capable of withstanding optical power, serving as a critical "safety line" for high-power medical laser systems.

 

Typical Application Scenarios (Use Cases)

Multiphoton Microscopy: In “in vivobrain” science research, this rotary joint transmits laser light during high-speed rotation, enabling the real-time capture of neuronal firing activity deep within the brain.

 

Hyperspectral Industrial Inspection: Leveraging the 1700nm wavelength's sensitivity to chemical composition, this technology identifies material purity during conveyor-belt-based inspection processes.

 

Semiconductor Thinning Monitoring: During the wafer grinding and rotation process, the fiber optic link provides real-time monitoring of silicon wafer thickness variations, ensuring nanometer-level processing precision.
