Improving the accuracy of shape sensors based on multicore fibers (MCFs) is not trivial, but of great importance for real-time 3D shape detection, especially in visually inaccessible areas.
We are enabling Multicore Fiber components with lowest insertion losses and highest accuracy.
The MCF shape sensor shows a maximum relative error of only 3.33%, compared to 5 to 10% typical for competing technoligies.
