Solarguide™ Solarization Resistant MM Fibers

Product information "Solarguide™ Solarization Resistant MM Fibers"

Multi Mode, Solarization (UV) Resistant; 190 to 1250 nm; Core Diameter 50 to 600 µm; Cladding Diameter 125 to 660 µm; Coating Polyimide, Aluminium; Numerical Aperture 0.22

Fiberguide’s Solarguide™ series of silica core, silica clad, polymer or metal coated solarization resistant UV multi mode fiber is hydrogen infused to improve long-term attenuation stability at short ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths (190 to 230 nm).

Solarguide™ fibers are the ideal choice for UV spectroscopy, lithography, excimer laser systems and UV curing applications that use Deuterium lamps or other UV sources below 230 nm. Solarguide™ fibers are available with either Polyimide/Thermocoat coating (UVS-THY) or aluminium coating (UVS-H2A) for high temperature applications.

As a further option, Solarguide™ 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.

Solarguide™ 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.

Fiber Type All Silica, Step Index MM, Hard Clad; Single Fiber; Wavelength 190 to 1250 nm; Sheathing Acrylate, Polyimide, Nylon, Tefzel, Gold, Aluminium; Termination 905 SMA, FC/PC, ST/PC, Cleaved Ends, Polished Ends, Round 2.5mm Ferrule, FD-80 High Power, 905 High Power, CustomShaped fiber tip assemblies provide optimum control over beam delivery and/or increased efficiency of light collection. Fiberguide offers standard configurations like angles, ball, radiused, conical, chisel or diffuser tips, as well as custom designed shaped tip fibers assemblies for precise beam control. A shaped tip on the end of an optical fiber allows for a wide variety of different outputs and inputs; they are most commonly in the medical field as laser scalpels, to remove plaque buildup in arteries, to close varicose veins and to couple diodes into multi mode optical fibers. Shaped tips are also used to provide diffused outputs and as radial emitters, perpendicular to the face of the fiber. The shaped tips are bare or encapsulated in a glass tube, to prevent fluids and other materials from impacting the shape of the light output from the fiber. Fiberguide designs and manufactures shaped glass to manipulate the light inside fibers. Fiberguide offers shaped tips for a broad range of multi mode fibers, including step index MM fiber series like AFS/AFM/AFH/SFS/SFM/SFH all silica optical fibers, AFSH/SFSH hard polymer coat fibers, APC/SPC polymer clad fibers, APCH/SPCH hard clad fibers, AFR/SFR Uniclad™ high power fibers or Solarguide™ solarization resistant fibers, but also AGI/ASI anhydrous graded index fibers. For high temperature applications, some fiber types can be aluminium or gold coated on request. 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. Fiberguide’s experienced engineering team, industry leading fiber processing techniques, and proprietary design software can help enable any custom solution.
