Name: Optran® HUV – High-NA UV Fiber (350-2200 nm)
Brand: Ceramoptec
Availability: InStock

Description

Optran® HUV optical fibers are multimode fibers with a fused silica core and fluorinated acrylate cladding, designed for reliable light transmission across the 350–2200 nm spectral range. The fibers support numerical aperture values of up to 0.57 and are available with core diameters ranging from 100 µm to 2000 µm.

The step-index design enables stable optical performance across a broad wavelength range, while the high numerical aperture supports efficient light collection and delivery. The fluorinated acrylate cladding contributes to low bend sensitivity and facilitates robust handling and connectorisation.

Optran® HUV fibers are used in illumination systems, spectroscopy setups, medical applications such as photodynamic therapy, as well as in optical sensing and measurement systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose a high-NA fiber like Optran® HUV?

High-NA fibers such as Optran® HUV are typically used when efficient light collection or delivery is required, especially in systems with divergent light sources or where alignment conditions are less constrained.

What is the difference between Optran® HUV and Optran® HWF?

The main difference between Optran® HUV and Optran® HWF is the OH content of the fiber. Optran® HUV is a high-OH fiber, while Optran® HWF is a low-OH fiber, which affects their spectral transmission characteristics.

Is Optran® HUV suitable for UV applications?

Optran® HUV is designed for light transmission starting from 350 nm and is commonly used in applications that include UV wavelengths within this spectral range.

What is the advantage of high numerical aperture optical fibers?

High numerical aperture (NA) fibers can accept light over a larger range of incident angles. This improves light collection efficiency when coupling light from divergent sources such as LEDs, lamps or scattered light in detection systems.
