art photonics offers standard IR-fiber cables based on Polycrystalline Infra-Red (PIR-) Core/Clad fibers transmitting in the spectral range 3 – 17 µm and possessing a robust flexible design aiming at various applications. The design of standard PIR-fiber cables is described below for 2 connector options and 3 sheathing options. Moreover, a line of customized assemblies can be designed according to the special customer’s requests – contact us if you need for non-standard cables: there is a possibility of customized design, vacuum proof option, etc.
Polycrystalline IR-fiber cables
Main features:
- Fiber Type: Polycrystalline Step Index Multimode
- High transmittance in the range of 3 – 18 μm, Low optical losses of about 0.2 – 0.3 dB/m in the range 9 – 13 µm
- Non-hydroscopic and non-toxic
- Minimal aging effect
- Core/Clad structure with core diameters span from 240 to 860 μm
- Length ≤ 15 m depending on the fiber diameter
- Temperature range -50 °C + 80 °C (defined by the choice of sheathing and epoxy details)
