Frequently Asked Questions

Metal-Coated Silica Fibers are ideally suited for use in high temperature, vacuum and harsh chemical environments. They are commonly used in high power laser delivery, nuclear radiation, medical applications, and soldered fiber bundles.

The core material of Metal-Coated Silica Fibers is pure silica.

The standard numerical aperture (NA) is 0.22 ± 0.02 (Full Acceptance Angle 25°). Available numerical apertures include 0.12 ± 0.02 (Full Acceptance Angle 14°) and 0.26 ± 0.02 (Full Acceptance Angle 30°).

The minimal bending radius (long term) is 200 x fiber outer diameter. The minimal bending radius (short term) is 100 x fiber outer diameter.

The maximum operating temperature of Metal-Coated Silica Fibers is 400°C.
