Custom Ferrules are made of alumina or zirconia ceramics, with inside diameters from 80 microns to 1100 microns, in lengths from 2. 5mm, and with features such as multi-step, countersinks, flats, slots, grooves, and chamfers. Ceramic ferrules and sleeves are often used in optical connectors, attenuators, fiber stubs, and other optoelectronics requiring low signal loss. The purpose of a ceramic tube insert is to either be sacrificial to the effects of inlet-end erosion, corrosion, impingement to induce a fluid to fall on the ID. Medical devices using laser energy for treatments like skin therapy, ophthalmic surgeries, or tumor removal require precise beam.
