Description

Leoni Fiber Optics offers high-quality glass fibers designed for infrared applications, featuring a core made from pure fused silica glass. These fibers are characterized by a low OH content and a uniform refractive index across their entire diameter, ensuring optimal performance. The fibers operate effectively within a wavelength range of 400 nm to 2400 nm, encompassing both visible and infrared spectrums (VIS-IR).

Advantages of Silicone-Coated and Tefzel®-Jacketed Optical Fibers
Silicone-coated multimode optical fibers with Tefzel® jackets are designed for demanding industrial and photonics environments requiring enhanced thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical durability. The silicone coating improves flexibility and performance under elevated temperatures, while the Tefzel® outer jacket provides additional protection against abrasion, moisture, chemicals, and harsh environmental exposure. This combination makes these fibers particularly suitable for industrial sensing, spectroscopy, process monitoring, laser delivery, and harsh-environment optical transmission systems.

High-Temperature Optical Transmission Performance
FiberTech multimode optical fibers with silicone coating and Tefzel® jackets are engineered for stable optical transmission in elevated-temperature environments up to 150 °C. Their enhanced thermal durability makes them suitable for industrial automation, process monitoring, spectroscopy, and sensing systems operating in demanding thermal and mechanical conditions where conventional optical fiber assemblies may experience reduced reliability.

Rugged Jacket Materials for Industrial Optical Systems
Tefzel® jacketed optical fibers provide enhanced environmental resistance for industrial photonics systems exposed to chemicals, abrasion, moisture, and mechanical stress. Combined with flexible silicone coatings, these multimode fibers support reliable long-term operation in harsh industrial, laboratory, and outdoor environments requiring durable optical transmission performance.

Flexible Fiber Routing and Mechanical Reliability
The fiber design supports defined short-term and long-term bending radius specifications to improve installation flexibility and reduce mechanical stress during routing in industrial systems. This enables reliable integration into compact instrumentation, automation equipment, sensing networks, and photonics platforms requiring stable optical performance under repeated handling and constrained routing conditions.
