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.

Refractive Index 1.56; 250 cps Viscosity at 25°C Norland Optical Adhesive 83H ("NOA83H") is a single component liquid adhesive that cures in seconds to a tough, hard polymer when exposed to ultraviolet light. It is recommended as an extremely fast and efficient way to precisely bondoptical components. In addition to UV light, heat can also be usedto cure this one part adhesive.The outstanding characteristic of this material is its extremely fast cure. Thin films can be initially set in under 10 seconds and thick films in 20 seconds using the light sources listed below. It is also extremely stable when not exposed to UV light. NOA 83H will not gel up in dispenser tips or cure before you want it to.Typical Properties of NOA 83H Solids 100% Elongation at Failure 30% Modulus of Elasticity (psi) 160,000 Tensile Strength (psi) 3,500 Hardness - Shore D 85 Shelf life of the liquid is at least 4 months from the date of shipment if stored in a cool (5-22° C), dark place in the original container. If refrigerated, allow the adhesive to come to room temperature prior to use.
