Infrared (IR) Quartz Fiber Description
Infrared Quartz Fiber is intended for transmission of near-infrared light. It is manufactured from low-OH fused silica and can be fluorine-doped to minimize attenuation. The fiber has low transmission loss and high chemical and thermal stability, making it ideal for use in applications requiring constant use in spectroscopy, monitoring, and laser delivery systems.
Its mechanical durability and wide spectral range make it a trusted choice for laboratory and industrial applications where stable IR transmission is required.
Infrared (IR) Quartz Fiber Applications
- Spectroscopy – Stable transmission for NIR and MIR spectral measurements.
- Environmental monitoring – Used in gas monitoring and pollution control instruments.
- Medical diagnostics – Delivers IR light in treatment and sensing devices.
- Industrial processing – Works in high-temperature and corrosive environments.
- Remote sensing – Enables data transfer for military and aerospace use.
- Laser delivery – Transfers IR laser beams in material processing and surgery.
Infrared (IR) Quartz Fiber Packaging
Product packaging varies according to size and shipping needs. Small-sized fibers are packed in PP boxes, and bulk or large-sized spools are packed in wooden crates specifically made for them. Protective material is included for safe transport.
Structure of Optical Fiber
Core
Made of high-purity silica, may be doped with GeO₂ or P₂O₅ as an option to raise the refractive index and help guide infrared light effectively.
Cladding
Surrounds the core and uses fluorine-doped silica to create a fractionally reduced refractive index that keeps the light inside.
Coating
Multi-layer protective coating consisting of a base polymer coating, intermediate water-resistance buffer gel, and external layer of hard polymers such as nylon or polypropylene. Abrasion, flexible, and long life, such coatings provide.
Customization Options
Available in different core diameters, numerical apertures, coatings, and connector types. Special square-core devices may be ordered specially designed. Test samples are available for testing.
