The core of glass fibers for infrared (IR) applications is meticulously crafted from pure fused silica glass, characterized by a low hydroxyl (OH) content and a uniform refractive index across the entire diameter. These fibers are designed to operate efficiently within a wavelength range of 400 nm to 2400 nm, covering both visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) spectrums. Such a broad operational range makes them versatile for various high-precision applications.

Each fiber is enveloped with a protective coating, which can be made of acrylate, silicone, or polyimide, depending on the specific requirements of the application. These coatings not only safeguard the fibers but also enhance their performance in diverse environmental conditions. The step-index multimode fibers are particularly renowned for their robust performance in optical data transmission, sensor technology, spectroscopy, medical technology, and laser applications.

The fibers are available in a range of core diameters, ensuring flexibility and adaptability to specific needs. Furthermore, they are offered with different coating options, each providing distinct temperature ranges and durability. For instance, the polyimide coating can withstand extreme temperatures from -190 °C to 385 °C, making it suitable for demanding environments. Additionally, fibers with coatings and jackets, made from materials like Nylon® and Tefzel®, offer extended protection and are available in various colors for easy identification and integration into existing systems.

These high-quality optical fibers from LEONI Fiber Optics are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern technology, ensuring reliability and precision. Whether used in cutting-edge scientific research or advanced industrial applications, these fibers deliver exceptional performance, making them a preferred choice for professionals worldwide.
