ASQR/SSQR Square Core MM Fibers

Product information "ASQR/SSQR Square Core MM Fibers"

Multi Mode, Square Core; 190 to 2400 nm; Core Size 100 to 1000 µm; Coating Acrylate, Nylon, Polyimide; Numerical Aperture 0.22

Fiberguide’s Anhydroguide™ (ASQR) and Superguide™ (SSQR) series of square silica core, doped round cladding multi mode optical fibers excel in specific applications where traditional circular core fibers with Gaussian outputs are not ideal. The uniform “top hat” intensity profile these fibers provide are the desired output profile when performing tasks such as welding, photolithography, and spectroscopy.

Square core fibers with round claddings are also excellent candidates for use in the laser diode industry, where the square shape enables a more ideal coupling match with the diode source. Fiberguide offers pure silica square core fibers with a fluorine doped cladding (0.22 NA) in a wide range of core diameters from 100 μm to 1000 μm.

While the ASQR series features a low hydroxyl ion concentration (low OH) and works in the visible to IR range, SSQR variants with high hydroxyl ion concentration are suitable for the UV to visible range. Options include Acrylate, Polyimide and Nylon coatings as well as anti-reflective coatings like standard thin film coatings or RARe Motheye nano-surfacing. This anti-reflective technology enhances fiber transmission performance and significantly increases the damage threshold for your application over a large wavelength range.

NOA 148 Optical Adhesive 1oz bottle
Refractive Index 1.48; 1500-2000 cps Viscosity at 25°C Norland Optical Adhesive 148 is clear liquid adhesive that will cure when exposed long wavelength ultraviolet light. NOA 148 is recommended for bonding glass to glass. Adhesion is also good to cellulose acetate butyrate. NOA 148 is cured by ultraviolet light between 315 and 395 nm. Full cure requires 6 Joules/cm2. The adhesive exhibits oxygen inhibition and must be cured under an inert atmosphere if used as a coating to assure surface is tack free.Typical Properties of NOA 148 Color Clear Keep NOA 148 in a cool (5-22°C) dark place. If refrigerated, allow the adhesive to come to room temperature before using.
