Optran HUV, Optran HWF
Optran HUV and Optran HWF hard polymer-clad fibers offer high numerical apertures to suit a broad range of applications, from remote illumination to photodynamic therapy. This high quality fiber offers easy termination with no pistoning effect and is a cost effective alternative to silica/silica fiber. We offer a choice of several jacket types and sizes - as well as custom-designed products and sizes to meet your specifications.

Suffix product code with "48" to indicate high (0.48) NA. Example: HUV 600/660 T 48
Notes
*Core / Clad ratio may not support transmission for long wavelengths.
Because attenuation may vary below 400 nm, Optran HUV is not recommended for use below this wavelength.
Other sizes available.
Upon request, pure silica core can be substituted with a quartz/quartz structure, providing an all silica fiber with a standard numerical aperture of 0.22.
NA is measured at the 95% intensity angle.
Tefzel® jacket can be omitted upon request. Tefzel® is a registered DuPont product.
