Note |
CeramOptec's high quality Optran UV and Optran WF fiber exhibits exceptional performance and transmission from the deep UV to the IR. With impressive radiation resistance and broad temperature capability, Optran UV and Optran WF are ideal for applications including spectroscopy, Thomson scattering, and medical diagnostics. We offer a choice of several jacket types and sizes - as well as custom-designed products and sizes to meet your specifications. For instance, our new Optran WF with a hard polymer buffer features Cleave N Connect™ technology to eliminate messy silicone stripping. |
