Literature & Downloads

Our infrared fibers cover the 2 to 18 µm region. We offer two materials:

•Chalcogenide Glass (CIR) Fibers
For the 2 to 6 µm region

•Polycrystalline (PIR) Fibers
For the 4 to 18 µm region

All fibers are terminated with SMA connectors; for ST or other fiber terminations, contact a Sales Engineer.

Construction

The Chalcogenide Fibers are drawn in a core/clad structure, and use a double polymer coating. They are characterized by low optical loss and high flexibility. The jacket material is PVC.
Our Polycrystalline Fibers are extruded from pure AgCL:AgBr solid solution crystals. The core and cladding are the same material with a different ratio of AgCL and AgBr, to create the different index of refraction required to keep the light from leaking through the fiber. They can withstand CW CO₂ laser power.
