Features

  • Broad UV/VIS/NIR Rpectral Range:
    • High OH, 300 to 1200 nm
    • Low OH, 400 to 2200 nm
  • Reduced Static Fatigue, Lower Microbend Losses
  • Biocompatible Materials, Radiation Resistance
  • Sterilizable by ETO and Other Methods

Our 0.48 NA hard polymer-clad fibers offer high numerical apertures to suit a broad range of applications, from remote illumination to photodynamic therapy. This high quality fiber offers easy termination with no pistoning effect*and is a cost effective alternative to silica/silica fiber.

* - Pistoning is caused when the core-cladding bond is poor, allowing the core to slide within the cladding.
