Optical fibers for DUV
Carbon Coated H2 Loaded
This fiber has been specially developed for DUV applications where photodarkening (also known as solarization) becomes main reason of transmission decrement during utility time caused by UV exposure. New fiber shows excellent stability of transmission after short time of exposure. Transmission recovery occurs when UV exposure is removed.
Benefits
- Improved transmission at DUV
- Recovery of fiber after UV exposure has been removed
- Fiber is hermetically encapsulated by Carbon coating
- Carbon coating works as screen
