Low and high OH step index fused silica fibers transmit throughout the UV/Vis/NIR range. low OH fiber are used for Vis/NIR applications, and high OH are used for UV/Vis (see attenuation curves for specific data). These fibers have a fused silica core and cladding, and a polymer buffer for added protection. Fiber diameters of 100um –600um feature a high temperature, high strength polyimide buffer, while the 1mm fibers are buffered with nylon.
