Optran PUV, Optran PWF
CeramOptec's plastic-clad silica fibers feature high transmission values for UV through NIR wavelengths and are ideal for applications from remote illumination and spectroscopy to high power laser delivery. With better UV and IR transmission than hard clad silica fibers, Optran PUV and PWF fibers are fully biocompatible, radiation resistant, and a cost effective alternative to all silica fiber. We offer a choice of several jacket types and sizes - as well as custom-designed products and sizes to meet your specifications.
