ArmD® UV Shaped, ArmD® NIR Shaped

Name: ArmD® UV Shaped, ArmD® NIR Shaped
Brand: Armadillo Sia
Availability: InStock

Description

Armadillo’s angular core silica optical fibers exhibit exceptional performance and transmission to ArmD® UV/NIR fibers with circular core geometry. Their excellent image scrambling and minimal focal ratio degradation make them ideal for astronomy applications. When paired with diode lasers producing square-shaped outputs, these square core fibers offer superior coupling efficiencies compared to circular fibers. In laser applications like surface pre-treatment, their square output beam allows for more uniform material processing, reducing reliance on beam shaping optics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser beam focusing optics required when using Optran®NCF UV?

No, there is no need for laser beam focusing optics when using ArmD® UV Shaped, ArmD® NIR Shaped

What applications are Optran®NCF UV suitable for?

ArmD® UV Shaped is an excellent choice for applications that include diode laser coupling and many more.

What are the advantages of using non-circular fibers like Optran®NCF UV?

Non-circular fibers like ArmD® UV Shaped UV offer advantages due to providing maximum packing density for input and output. They are very suitable for connections to angular sources and receivers, such as diode lasers. The angular-shaped core provides consistent short-distance homogenization input power distribution.

What is the cross-section ratio of the core in Optran®NCF UV?

The same cross-section ratio of the core provides higher flexibility compared to round fibers.

What is the resistance of Optran®NCF UV against laser damage?

ArmD® UV Shaped has high resistance against laser damage.
