Optran® UVWFS – Broadband Low-OH Fiber (200-2000nm)

Name: Optran® UVWFS – Broadband Low-OH Fiber (200-2000nm)
Brand: Ceramoptec
Availability: InStock

Description

Optran® UVWFS optical fibers are all-silica fibers with a fused silica core and fluorine-doped cladding, designed for broadband light transmission across the 200–2000 nm spectral range.

The fibers are available with a range of core diameters and numerical aperture configurations for integration into optical systems.

As low-OH fibers, Optran® UVWFS supports stable transmission across the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions, making them suitable for applications requiring simultaneous use of multiple wavelength ranges.

Typical applications include spectroscopy, analytical instrumentation, and optical systems requiring consistent broadband light delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes Optran® UVWFS from standard WF fibers?

Optran® UVWFS extends the transmission range further into the UV region and is designed for broadband applications, while standard WF fibers are focused on the visible and near-infrared range.

What does “broadband fiber” mean in this context?

In this context, broadband refers to the ability of the fiber to transmit light across a wide spectral range, covering UV, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths.

When should Optran® UVWFS be selected?

Optran® UVWFS is typically selected for applications where multiple wavelength ranges are used simultaneously and broadband transmission from UV to NIR is required.

How does Optran® UVWFS differ from WFNS fibers?

Both fibers extend into the UV region, but Optran® UVWFS is specifically designed for broadband applications involving simultaneous wavelength use, while WFNS is defined by its extended spectral range.

Is Optran® UVWFS suitable for UV applications?

Optran® UVWFS fibers are designed for transmission starting from 200 nm and are suitable for applications that include UV wavelengths within this spectral range.
