Mir Photonics’ Copper-alloy Coated Silica Fibers represent a breakthrough in fiber technology, designed to excel in extreme conditions where traditional fiber solutions fall short. These fibers are engineered to withstand very high temperatures, high vacuum environments, and other demanding operational settings. By combining exceptional optical stability with robust thermal and mechanical performance, they are ideal for use in industrial, scientific, and aerospace applications.

These advanced fibers retain all the benefits of traditional silica-silica fibers, while the copper-alloy coating significantly enhances their mechanical strength and durability. This metallic coating provides increased resistance to fatigue and mechanical stress, offering a substantial improvement over polymer-coated fibers. As a result, these fibers are more reliable and durable, making them a preferred choice for challenging environments.

The optical transmission capabilities of these fibers are impressive, spanning a wide range from 220 to 2400 nm. This range is dependent on the choice of UV or NIR silica fiber cores, allowing for versatility across a broad spectrum of optical and spectroscopic applications. Furthermore, these fibers maintain consistent performance across an extreme temperature range, from cryogenic levels as low as –270°C to continuous operation at temperatures up to 600°C. They also tolerate humidity levels of up to 100% without compromising their optical or mechanical integrity, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of conditions.
