Dual-Core Multimode Fiber Patch Cables for Optogenetics
-
The dual-core multimode fiber optic patch cables sold on this page are specifically designed to be used with our implantable dual-core fiber optic cannulae. Thorlabs' dual-core products allow high-intensity light from two different sources to be implanted within a specimen in close proximity (~1 mm), and are therefore ideal for applications such as bilateral stimulation or silencing.
These dual-core patch cables feature two Ø200 µm core, 0.39 NA fibers combined into a Ø2.5 mm common-end stainless steel ferrule with a 700 µm core spacing (see the image to the right). The split ends of the patch cable have either SMA905 or 2.0 mm narrow key FC/PC connectors for connection to our fiber-coupled LEDs or lasers, respectively. The fiber is encased within a thin, approximately Ø1.4 mm outer tubing to both protect the fiber and minimize cable mass, reducing stress on a living specimen.
