Features  IR

  • Cost effective alternative to All silica fibers (AS)
  • Better UV and IR transmission than Hard clad silica fibers
  • High numerical aperture
  • Biocompatible materials
  • Sterilizable by ETO, steam, e-beam, gamma radiation
  • Radiation resistant

Properties

  • Numerical aperture: 0.40 (2 meters) 0.30 (steady state)
  • Operation wavelength range: 350 nm to 2400 nm (PCS-IR)
  • Proof test level (bend method): 70 kpsi
  • Bend radius: momentary 100 times the core radius long term 600 times the core radius
  • Laser damage threshold: >1.3 kW/mm2 (Nd:YAG, cw at 1060 nm)


Fiber Design

Core

  • synthetic quartz

Cladding

  • Silicon resin cladding (-40°C to 180°C)

Buffer

  • Nylon (-40°C to 100°C)
  • ETFE (-200°C to 150°C)

Optional

  • Connectors (SMA, ST, DIN ), special connectors upon request
  • PCS-Fiber Cables
