		ClearLite® Short Wavelength Photonic Fibers (4) OFS Short Wavelength Photonic Fibers are differentiated by operating wavelength. These fibers perform in a wide variety of applications, some requiring visible light. For especially tight bend applications or in gyroscopic coils, choose the reduced-diameter micro version. Light sources for these fibers can be LEDs, laser diodes, visible lamps, or gas lasers.




		ClearLite® 980 Photonic Fibers (3) These fibers operate primarily at the 980 nm wavelength (but are also suitable for use at 1550 nm) and vary by numerical aperture. A reduced-diameter version is available for applications where size is critical. Tight geometrical tolerances are maintained for low lot-to-lot variability and low splice loss. The high proof test level helps ensure extended lifetime in high-stress and submarine applications.




		ClearLite® 1310 11 NA Photonic Fibers (4) Fibers operating at 1310/1550 nm are available with several different coating options to meet application requirements. The Micro and Geo versions allow for tighter coils.




		ClearLite® 1310 16 NA Photonic Fibers (4) These fibers are designed to operate efficiently at both 1310 and 1550 nm, and the higher NA of 0.16 enhances bend performance. Various coatings and buffer sizes are offered to meet environmental requirements and size constraints.




		ClearLite® 1310 21 NA Photonic Fibers (2) These fibers, like their 0.16 NA counterparts, operate efficiently at both 1310 and 1550 nm. The higher 0.21 NA further enhances bend performance.




		ClearLite® 1550 Photonic Fibers (5) Our full line of fibers operating at 1550 nm includes a variety of coating options, NAs, and mode field diameters to optimize performance in different applications. The longer cutoff of these fibers, as compared to standard transmission fiber, offers improved optical bend performance.




		GeoSil™-SM Fibers GeoSil-SM fibers, made with a pure silica core and high 0.17 NA, offer extreme resistance to hydrogen plus low bend loss. The abrasion-resistant and chemically resistant PYROCOAT® polyimide coating allows performance to 300 degrees C for mechanical reliability in the down-hole environment.




		Accutether™ Dispersion Shifted Single-Mode Fiber (2) The design of this dispersion shifted single-mode fiber incorporates a germanium doped core and a silica cladding. A high delta core ensures extremely low bending losses. A single or dual layer protective coating is applied to provide the maxiumum in abrasion and damage resistance.
