FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Which wavelength ranges do the fibers cover?
Our fibers transmit from deep UV (190 nm) up to the near infrared (>2000 nm), making them ideal for analytical and laser-based applications.
Are the fibers suitable for direct patient contact?
Yes. We manufacture biocompatible and sterilizable fibers designed for direct clinical use. They are validated for medical practice and meet the highest standards for safety and reliability.
Which fibers do you recommend for Raman or fluorescence spectroscopy?
Our Optran® UV and UVWFS fibers are particularly suitable. They are solarization-resistant and ensure low-loss transmission of even the weakest signals – essential for precise and reproducible measurements.
Can the fibers be adapted to specific laboratory systems?
Yes. We customize diameters, NA values, connectors and coatings to match your systems. The result is a seamlessly integrated fiber solution that supports reliable measurement results.
