Webinar: Combi Probes - Solving the "Blind Spot" of Single-Mode Spectroscopy

In complex chemical analysis and biomedical diagnostics, relying on a single spectroscopic technique often results in a "blind spot." While Near-Infrared (NIR) offers speed, it frequently lacks specificity. Raman spectroscopy provides a precise molecular fingerprint but often battles fluorescence interference. Mid-IR offers excellent structural detail but is limited by shallow penetration depths. The Challenge: Spatial […]

art photonics: PIR Fiber Technology at Photonics West 2025

Posted on: 
26 January 2025

art photonics GmbH, the global pioneer and leading manufacturer of Polycrystalline Infrared (PIR) fibers, continues to set the standard for innovation in infrared optical solutions. Our PIR fibers are engineered to deliver unmatched performance across the 3–17 µm spectral range, making them a cornerstone for advanced industrial, medical, and scientific applications.

Key Advantages of PIR Fibers:

  • Ultra-Low Optical Loss: Achieve exceptional signal clarity with losses as low as 0.2–0.3 dB/m in the critical 9–13 µm window.
  • Superior Flexibility: Unlike brittle hollow waveguides, PIR fibers maintain durability even under tight bending, ideal for demanding environments.
  • Customizable Core Sizes: Choose from core diameters spanning 240–860 µm to meet precise application requirements.
  • Long-Term Reliability: Designed with non-hygroscopic, non-toxic materials and minimal aging effects, ensuring consistent performance over time.

Applications Driving Innovation:

  • Industrial Process Control: Real-time spectroscopy for melting plastics, gas analysis, and thermal imaging.
  • Medical Diagnostics: Robust solutions for minimally invasive procedures and precision diagnostics.
  • High-Power Laser Systems: Efficient delivery of CO₂ laser energy (up to 10.6 µm) for manufacturing and research.

Visit Us at Photonics West 2025
We invite you to connect with our team at Booth #1740 during Photonics West 2025. Explore live demonstrations of PIR fibers, discuss your project needs with our experts, and discover how our cutting-edge technology can solve your most complex infrared challenges.
