Optran® UV – High-OH UV Fiber (220–1200 nm) - Get a price quote from Ceramoptec

Name: Optran® UV – High-OH UV Fiber (220–1200 nm)
Brand: Ceramoptec
Availability: InStock

Description

Optran® UV optical fibers are all-silica fibers with fluorine-doped cladding, designed for light transmission in the 220–1200 nm spectral range. The fibers are available with different numerical aperture options and core diameters for integration into a wide range of optical systems.

As high-OH fibers, Optran® UV provides improved transmission performance at shorter wavelengths compared to low-OH fiber types, making them suitable for applications in the ultraviolet and visible spectral range.

Typical applications include UV spectroscopy, fluorescence excitation, analytical instrumentation, medical instrumentation, UV curing processes, and general laboratory applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is meant by a standard UV fiber?

A standard UV fiber refers to a fiber designed for general light transmission within the UV and visible spectral range, without additional design features for enhanced resistance to UV-induced degradation.

How does Optran® UV differ from UVNS fibers?

Optran® UVNS fibers are designed for increased resistance to UV-induced degradation, while Optran® UV fibers are intended for general UV light transmission within their specified wavelength range.

When should Optran® UV be selected instead of UVNS?

Optran® UV is typically selected for applications requiring general UV transmission. For applications involving higher UV exposure or where resistance to UV-induced degradation is critical, Optran® UVNS may be considered.

Which types of applications typically use standard UV fibers?

Standard UV fibers such as Optran® UV are commonly used in spectroscopy, analytical instrumentation, and laboratory systems operating within the UV and visible wavelength range.

Does Optran® UV include features for solarization resistance?

Optran® UV fibers are not specifically designed for enhanced resistance to UV-induced degradation. For applications where this is required, fibers such as Optran® UVNS are typically used.
