  • High transmittance from 4 µm up to 18µm
  • High flexibility and no toxicity
  • Suitable for CO2- laser power delivery up to 50W
  • Low attenuation at 10.6µm (0.1-0.5 dB/m)
  • Standard fiber diameters from 0.3 to 1.0mm
  • No aging effect

art photonics’ development of specialty fibers for the Mid-Infrared region has resulted in a unique product – Core / Clad Polycrystalline Infra-Red (PIR-) fibers. The PIR-fibers are non-toxic, very flexible, transparent across a broad spectral range 4 -18 µm and capable for operating over the wide temperature range from 4K to 420K.

Applications:

  • Spectroscopy Probes for Gases & Liquids
  • Flexible Radiometry
  • Flexible IR-imaging Systems
  • Power delivery for CO & CO2 – Lasers
