Copper-coated F-doped single-mode optical fibers
Copper-coated single mode F-doped fibers are high strength optical fibers that can be used for both high-temperature and cryogenic applications. Thin additional carbon underlayer is typically added to improve hermetic property of the coating and therefore provide improved mechanical strength. This fiber type is used in sensor systems for biomedicine, oil and gas industry, aircraft applications, high vacuum devices, etc.

FEATURES:
  • Higher mechanical strength with respect to polymer coated fibers.
  • Solderable coating allows feeding the fibers into high vacuum systems and provides no outgassing.
  • The temperature range is from -196C to +600C.
