OF6807 UV-Resistant Quartz Fiber

UV-Resistant Quartz Fiber Description

UV-Resistant Quartz Fiber is a specially engineered optical fiber designed to maintain high transmission stability under prolonged ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Through advanced fiber doping, preform manufacturing, and drawing processes, this fiber resists UV-induced degradation, ensuring consistent performance over time.

Key Features

• UV Resistance: Maintains transmission with minimal degradation under strong UV irradiation
• Broad Spectral Range: Effective transmission from 190 nm to 1100 nm, and extended versions up to 1200 nm
• Long-Term Durability: Resistant to UV aging even after extended exposure (e.g., >24 hours)
• Stable Transmission: Ideal for environments requiring consistent optical performance under UV light

UV-Resistant Quartz Fiber Applications

• Spectral Analysis under UV Illumination
• Photolithography Systems
• Excimer Laser Delivery Systems
• UV Curing and Inspection Equipment

UV-Resistant Quartz Fiber Packaging

Our products are packaged in customized cartons of various sizes based on the material dimensions. Small items are securely packed in PP boxes, while larger items are placed in custom wooden crates. We ensure strict adherence to packaging customization and the use of appropriate cushioning materials to provide optimal protection during transportation.

Packaging: Carton, Wooden box, Paper barrel, Iron barrel, or Customized.

Structure of Optical Fiber

Core

• Position: Located at the center of the optical fiber.
• Material: High-purity SiO₂, doped with trace amounts of GeO₂ or P₂O₅ to increase the refractive index (n₁), enabling light signal transmission.

Cladding

• Position: Surrounds the core.
• Material: High-purity SiO₂, with trace dopants such as B₂O₃ used to slightly lower the refractive index (n₂) so that it is slightly less than that of the core. This ensures that the light signal remains confined within the core for transmission.

Coating Layer

• Position: The outermost layer of the optical fiber.
• Structure and Material: Includes a primary coating, a buffer layer, and a secondary coating.

a) The primary coating is typically made of acrylate, silicone, or silicone rubber.

b) The buffer layer generally consists of a high-performance filling gel (for water resistance).

c) The secondary coating is usually composed of high polymers such as polypropylene or nylon.

• Function: To protect the optical fiber from moisture and mechanical abrasion, while also enhancing its mechanical strength and flexibility. This extends the service life of the fiber.

Customization Options

We offer tailored core sizes, numerical apertures, coatings, and connector types to meet your specific system requirements. Custom-designed fiber-optic devices based on square core fibers are available upon request. Samples are for testing only.
