When looking for a fiber with a high numerical aperture (N.A.) for more efficient light coupling, the Superguide™ PCS is the low cost fiber of choice. The pure fused silica (SiO2) used in the core of the Superguide™ fiber is made by reacting silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) with oxygen (O2) using an oxy-hydrogen flame resulting in superior ultraviolet (UV) to visible (VIS) transmis (read more)

When looking for a low cost fiber with a high numerical aperture (N.A.) for more efficient light coupling, the Anhydroguide™ PCS is the fiber of choice. With an N.A. of 0.37 and a plastic cladding that allows a high core-to-clad ratio, satisfies those requirements and more. The pure fused silica (SiO2) used in the core of the Anhydroguide™ fiber is made by reacting silicon tetra (read more)
