IRF-S-5 C halcogenide MWIR Fiber
Description
Chalcogenide glass is based on the chalcogen elements (sulfur, selenium and tellurium) with the addition of other elements such as arsenic, antimony, or germanium. It offers promising properties such as transmission in mid and far infrared regions of spectra, lower values of phonon energies, high refractive index and very large nonlinearities as compared to silica.
Chalcogenide glass fibers are the ideal candidates for mid-infrared applications that require high power laser delivery, chemical sensing, thermal imaging and temperature monitoring. IRflex’s IRF-S Series mid-wave infrared (MWIR) fiber, made from extra high purity chalcogenide glass As2S3, is specially designed and manufactured to generate and/or guide mid-infrared wavelengths from 1.5 to 6.5µm with high transmission efficiency and nonlinearities about 100 times that of silica glass fiber.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chalcogenide glass is a type of glass that is made from chalcogen elements such as sulfur, selenium, and tellurium, along with other elements like arsenic, antimony, or germanium.
Chalcogenide glass fibers have properties such as transmission in the mid and far infrared regions of spectra, lower phonon energies, high refractive index, and large nonlinearities compared to silica. They are ideal for applications that require high power laser delivery, chemical sensing, thermal imaging, and temperature monitoring.
The IRF-S Series mid-wave infrared (MWIR) fiber can generate and/or guide mid-infrared wavelengths from 1.5 to 6.5µm.
The applications of IRF-S Series chalcogenide MWIR fibers include mid-IR laser beam delivery, IR spectroscopy, chemical sensing, scientific and medical diagnostics, IR-imaging systems, nonlinear supercontinuum generation, and infrared countermeasure (IRCM).
The benefits of IRF-S Series chalcogenide MWIR fibers include extra low loss (0.05dB/m @2.8µm), high power handling strength (tested in-house up to 6.9W CW in a 9µm core diameter fiber for 30 minutes without damage or degradation), and high mechanical flexibility.
