Standard Step Index Fibers
Standard Step Index Fibers
SILICA/SILICA Step Index High OH (190-1200nm) and Low OH (300-2400nm) Fibers
High quality Low OH and High OH fibers exhibit exceptional performance and transmission from the deep UV to the IR. With impressive radiation resistance and broad temperature capability, these fibers are ideal for applications including spectroscopy, Thomson scattering, and medical diagnostics.
We offer a choice of several jacket types and sizes – as well as custom-designed products and sizes to meet your specifications.
