High transmission values for UV through NIR wavelengths characterize ArmadilloSIA® silicone-clad silica fibers, perfect for applications ranging from remote lighting to spectroscopy.
Optran® PUV and PWF fibers are entirely biocompatible, radiation resistant, and a cost-effective alternative to all silica-fibers. Silicone-clad fibers offer superior UV and IR transmission compared to Optran® HUV and HWF hard-clad silica fibers.
In addition to offering a variety of jacket styles, ArmadilloSIA® supports Optran® PUV and PWF fibers with core diameters 100 - 2,000µm and high numerical aperture.
Advantages
- High concentricity
- Step-index profile
- Biocompatible material
- Sterilizable using ETO and other methods
