Day of Photonics 2026

Today, 21 October, is the Day of Photonics. The date marks the day in 1983 when the General Conference on Weights and Measures fixed the speed of light at exactly 299,792,458 m/s. The European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC) started the Day of Photonics in 2014 to make the field more visible outside labs and companies. […]

Flexible CO₂ laser delivery at 10.6 µm: PIR fibers vs hollow waveguides

art photonics Technical Note 007 Both polycrystalline silver halide fibers (PIR) and hollow waveguides (HWG) from art photonics transmit up to 85–90 % of CO₂ laser radiation (10.6 µm) through a 1 m high-power cable. Choose a PIR fiber when the cable must bend, move or run long distances: a full 360° loop costs only […]

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.
