Description
The PSHC Low OH Fiber is a cutting-edge optical fiber solution designed for high-performance applications requiring efficient light transmission and coupling. With its large core diameter, this fiber ensures easy handling and superior coupling efficiency to both LED and laser sources. The innovative low-index polymer cladding enhances temperature stability, making it suitable for a variety of demanding environments.
Additionally, the fiber supports crimp and cleave technology, allowing for quick and straightforward connectorization, which is ideal for time-sensitive projects. One of the standout features of the PSHC fiber is its optional fluorine-doped silica layer, which surrounds the core glass. This layer significantly increases the fiber's laser damage threshold and reduces attenuation, particularly in the ultra type variant. This makes the fiber highly versatile, capable of operating efficiently across a broad wavelength range.
The enlarged optical window design further broadens its applicability, enabling the use of a wide array of light sources, which is crucial for diverse industrial and scientific applications. The PSHC fiber is particularly suited for laser power transmission, medical applications involving laser and sensor technology, and factory automation. It is also an excellent choice for near-infrared spectroscopy and optical pyrometry, thanks to its robust optical characteristics.
The fiber's step-index profile and numerical aperture of 0.37 ensure precise light guidance, while its mechanical and temperature characteristics, such as an operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C and a short-term maximum temperature of +125°C, provide reliability under various conditions. The fiber's design and material choices make it an optimal solution for industries seeking high-quality, durable, and efficient optical fibers.
