- 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
