UV resistant optical fiber
Ocean Optics
Xtreme Solarization-resistant Optical Fiber and Probe Assemblies for spectroscopy are manufactured using a proprietary process that provides enhanced UV transmission (signal will transmit to 180 nm) and remarkable resistance to UV degradation, making it ideal for deep-UV applications (<300 nm). Ocean Optics is the only spectroscopy manufacturer to offer XSR Fiber.
Solarization in Typical Fibers
Solarization in Typical Fibers UV radiation below 300 nm degrades transmission in standard silica fibers, resulting in solarization (increased light absorption in the UV fiber that can invalidate data). For applications below 300 nm, we recommend our Premium-grade XSR Xtreme Solarization-resistant Fiber and Probe Assemblies, which are available for immediate delivery in standard lengths. Shorter lengths for solarization-resistant assemblies maximize UV throughput. Custom lengths are available; however, we recommend speaking with our Applications Scientists before ordering.
