Metal-coated Silica Fibers: Step Index, 9/125, Cu-alloy Coated
Description
art photonics’ Copper-alloy Coated Silica Fibers are the optimal solution for applications in high temperature, vacuum and harsh environment conditions. Cu-alloy coated fibers have all benefits of silica fibers. Additional significant advantages include a superior mechanical strength and better fatigue resistance compared to polymer coated fibers.
The transmission range spans 220 to 2400 nm depending on UV or NIR silica fiber core choice. The working temperature range is from -270°C to 600°C; humidity – up to 100%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Metal Coated Fibers are silica fibers coated with metal, such as aluminum or copper, that are designed for use in high temperature, vacuum, and harsh chemical environments.
The core material of Metal Coated Fibers is pure silica, with high or low OH- depending on the wavelength range.
The standard numerical aperture of Metal Coated Fibers is 0.22 ± 0.02, with available numerical apertures of 0.12 ± 0.02 and 0.26 ± 0.02.
Metal Coated Fibers can operate in temperatures ranging from -270°C to 400°C for Al and up to 600°C for Cu-alloy.
Metal Coated Fibers are used in high temperature environments, harsh chemical environments, nuclear radiation, high power laser delivery, medical applications, and soldered fiber bundles.
