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.

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 0.22Fiberguide’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.

Our mounted precision molded aspheric lenses feature MT6, MT8, MT9, MT12 or MT14 threads for screwing the components into your systems, but they can also be soldered or welded to suitable structures in the required position. GH Optics’ series of mounted precision molded glass aspheric lenses can be used for applications in the visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) wavebands, such as small beam collimation, focusing, and fiber coupling. In these applications, aspheric lenses avoid spherical aberrations known from spherical lenses and can therefore reduce the complexity of both the design process and the resulting optical system. While the cost and effort involved in the traditional production of aspheric lenses has often prevented the use of this type of lens in cost-sensitive applications, GH Optics manufactures affordable aspheric lenses with high, reproducible quality by molding glass preforms in molds of high precision. On request, most aspheric lenses in our portfolio can be mounted into a custom assembly specified by the customer. For large-volume applications we recommend to contact your regional AMS Technologies office, so that we can tailor a solution based on your technical needs.

MMF/QMMF/QMMJ Multi Mode Fibers
180-2400 nm; Core Diameter 10-1000 µm; Cladding Diameter 125-1035 µm; Attenuation: ≤0.7-<1000 dB/km; Numerical Aperture 0.10-0.37 OZ Optics offers a wide range of optical fibers suitable for many applications. MMF/QMMF/QMMJ multi mode (MM) fibers come in a variety of fiber sizes, operating wavelengths, and fiber types, and can be assembled into patchcords or more complex fiber optic components to suit your needs. OZ Optics categorizes fibers based on fiber type, operating wavelengths, core/cladding size, jacket diameter, and numerical aperture (NA). OZ Optics’ MMF/QMMF/QMMJ multi mode fibers have large fiber core sizes and large numerical apertures, making them well suited for collecting light from large or diffuse sources such as LEDs or white light lamps. They are also well suited for high-power applications as the power is transmitted through a large cross section compared to single mode (SM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fibers. The drawback with multi mode fibers is that they do not maintain the high-quality spatial properties of lasers. Instead, the light is dispersed among multi mode modes within the fiber, generating a speckle pattern when the light emerges from the other end of the fiber. Typically, MMF/QMMF/QMMJ multi mode fibers are suitable either for near infrared and visible wavelengths (IRVIS fibers) or for near ultraviolet and visible wavelengths (UVVIS fibers). UVVIS multi mode fibers typically are built with added amounts of hydroxyl (OH) ions added to enhance ultraviolet transmission at the expense of infrared transmission. Graded-index multi mode fibers (MMF) have a fiber core with a refractive index that varies from the center to the edge. They are mainly used for telecommunications applications and come in three standard core/cladding sizes: 50/125, 62.5/125, and 100/140. Step-index silica core (QMMF, QMMJ) fibers have a fiber core with a constant index of refraction. Typically, the fiber core is fused silica, doped with an element like germanium, while the fiber cladding is typically undoped fused silica for fibers with numerical apertures up to 0.22, and typically a hard polymer for higher numerical apertures. These fibers are available with core sizes ranging from 10 µm to 1500 µm, and NAs ranging from 0.12 to 0.5. Key Features: Huge Variety of Fibers Available Uncabled and Precabled Graded-index and Step-index Multi Mode (MM) Fibers Fibers for Wavelengths from 180 nm to 2400 nm Core Diameter: 10 µm to 1000 µm Cladding Diameter: 125 µm to 1035 µm Jacket or Buffer Diameter: 0.25 mm to 3.0 mm Attenuation: ≤0.7 dB/km to <1000 dB/km Numerical Aperture (NA): 0.10 to 0.37 Applications: Telecommunications; Life Sciences and Biotechnology; Industrial; Sensing
