CeramOptec is unique in its ability to manufacture fiber optic CO2 laser delivery systems and MIR optical fiber commercially. CeramOptec's flexible fiber optic delivery systems for CO2 lasers offer an advantage over articulated arms - the typical delivery system for CO2 lasers - which are often rigid and cumbersome. Optran MIR optical fibers are the finest quality laser fibers for everything from medical treatments to FT-IR spectroscopy (4 - 16 µm).
