This bond also makes aluminium coating the ideal choice to preserve deep UV performance in Fiberguide’s Solarguide UVS-H2A series of solarization resistant UV multi mode fiber. Within this series of aluminium coated high temperature fibers, users find step index (AFS/SFS, UVS-H2) and graded index (AGI) multi mode fibers as well as anhydrous silica (ASI) single mode fibers. As an option, some types of aluminium coated high temperature fibers can be provided with a broad selection of shaped tips – standard configurations as well as custom designed shapes. Shaped tip fibers provide optimum control over beam delivery and/or increased efficiency of light collection. Some of the fibers can also be end capped to achieve higher coupled power into a fiber core by reducing the power density at the air / silica interface, commonly the point of laser damage. End cap diameters and lengths are offered for select numerical apertures and fiber cores size, but can be easily customized for a variety of fiber types and specialized applications. Additionally, all fiber types can be equipped on demand with Fiberguide’s patented RARe Motheye anti-reflective technology that enhances fiber transmission performance and significantly increases the damage threshold for your application over a large wavelength range.

AFT/SFT Optical Fiber Tapers
Fiber Type Single Mode, Multi Mode Step & Graded Index; Input Core Diameter 100 to 600 µm; Output Core Diameter 50 to 200 µm; Numerical Aperture 0.12, 0.26; Wavelength 180 to 2400 nm; Sheathing PVC, Stainless Steel
Fiberguide’s AFT/SFT series of optical tapers are used for mode mixing, lowering optical power density in high power applications, and converting numerical aperture (NA) in optical power delivery applications. Optical tapers can either be tower drawn, where the length is several meters, or they can be produced using bench-top equipment, making the length a few inches. In both cases, these optical tapers are continuous pieces of fiber, they are not spliced. Tapered optical fibers can be made either by fusing a short tapered section onto a longer fixed diameter fiber or by very carefully controlling the drawing process to produce a single continuous fiber with an integral tapered section. For its AFT/SFT series, Fiberguide uses the latter process since it results in superior fiber strength, alignment precision and optical power transmission. Tapered optical fibers cause optical mode mixing that tends to homogenize spatial power distribution. A larger input core diameter can prevent input damage and allow a smaller diameter pigtail for convenience in adapting to a wide range of optical applications. Tapered optical fibers can be used as a passive optical component to alter the input and / or output divergence (N.A.) with regard to an optical fiber, as a high power coupler for laser energy, as this will spread the energy over a larger area, or simply as a device to relax tolerances in an optical system. To ensure maximum efficiency of light transmission, the numerical aperture (N.A.) of the light entering the taper input should be 0.22 divided by the taper ratio. As an example, assume the input core diameter of the taper is 400 µm and the output core is 200 µm (2:1 taper ratio), then the N.A. of the light entering the taper will be 0.22/2 = 0.11.
Additionally, the fibers can be equipped on demand with Fiberguide’s patented RARe Motheye anti-reflective technology that enhances fiber transmission performance and significantly increases the damage threshold for your application over a large wavelength range. Key Features:

As a further option, AGI series fibers can be provided with a broad selection of shaped tips – standard configurations as well as custom designed shapes. Shaped tip fibers provide optimum control over beam delivery and/or increased efficiency of light collection. AGI series fibers can also be end capped to achieve higher coupled power into a fiber core by reducing the power density at the air / silica interface, commonly the point of laser damage. End cap diameters and lengths are offered for select numerical apertures and fiber cores size, but can be easily customized for a variety of fiber types and specialized applications.

CAP Fused Silica Capillary Tubing
Inside Diameter 15 to 450 µm; Outside Diameter 90 to 673 µm; Coating Polyimide; Temperature Range -190 to +350 °C; Tensile Strength >600 kpsi
Fiberguide’s fused silica capillary tubing is used for micro-fluidics applications and in gas chromatography (GC) separation columns. These capillaries are coated with polyimide for mechanical stability and versatile uses. With inert surfaces and high purity, Fiberguide’s capillary tubing solutions provide a very high phase stability, while their peak mechanical stability leads to greater yield and more cost-efficient tubing. Based on the great flexibility combined with high tensile strength (>600 kpsi), these capillary tubing solutions are pressure resistant to 4,500 psi and allow very small radii during coiling with no kinking. They are impervious to chemicals, allowing usage in harsh environments. A wide range of internal and external diameters with tight tolerances allows users to select a capillary tubing solution that best suits their flow rate requirements. All capillaries can be easily cleaved or cut, allowing to adjust exactly the column length needed for interfacing. While the mirror smooth inner surface provides stable laminar flow profiles and good adherence, the capillary tubing solutions’ Polyimide coating is very durable and abrasion resistant. Key Features:
