50/125 Launch Optical Fiber
P/N: BF06864
These multimode step-index launch optical fibers are designed with low 0.22
numerical aperture — an extra low 0.15 NA is also available. These configurations
can handle peak power delivery approaching 1GW/cm2. The coating offers easy
mechanical stripping and is compatible with either carbon or PYROCOAT® polyimide
coatings, or both, when various combinations of hermeticity and/or high temperature
resistance are needed. Launch fibers can also be metalized for hermetic sealing
into opto-electronic devices.
