CPI designs, develops and manufactures fiber-based optical components and assemblies thereof, for applications ranging from 3D shape sensing, used in minimally invasive surgery, to pump-signal combiners, used in industrial machining, to high bandwidth links, enabling the most advanced submarine communications cables and hyperscale data centers.
Utilizing proprietary microforming techniques as well as custom fiber designs, as needed, CPI has pioneered several innovative optical components and products and published extensively on its technology.
[10][11] MCF adoption is well underway in several markets, including communications, for high bandwidth density, subsea[12] and terrestrial,[13][14] cables.
MCF is also used for 3D shape sensing to enable precise location and movement tracking for applications ranging from minimally invasive surgery to towed sonar arrays to aerodynamics.
Multicore fiber is uniquely positioned to meet this demand by significantly increasing bandwidth without adding to the cable weight or size.
