Sapphire Optical Fiber Sapphire Fiber

Optical fiber is a fibrous material used to transmit optical signals, usually made of glass or plastic. It uses the principle of full internal reflection to propagate the optical signal in the fiber, which has the advantages of low transmission loss, high bandwidth, and anti-electromagnetic interference. Optical fiber is widely used in the field of communication, such as the transmission of Internet, telephone and television signals. In addition, optical fibers are also used in medical, industrial, and sensor applications.

As a professional supplier of sapphire products, Optic-well is able to provide not only conventional sapphire optical components, but also excellent sapphire optical fibers. Characteristics of sapphire fibers:

1. Biocompatible, non-toxic, USP Class VI tested, tested conventionally by transplant and dissociation assays

2. High transmission rates in the wavelength range from visible to 3um

3. Flexible: bending radius can be as small as 20mm (for fiber with a diameter of 150um)

4. High strength: 400000psi/2.8GPa, light wrapped with PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon).  fiber, which can greatly improve durability and operability

5. High laser damage threshold (1200J/cm2), high melting point (2053ºC), can be used for high repetition and high power laser transmission  lose

6. Refractive index 1.762-1.770 Birefringence: 0.008-0.010

Applications of Sapphire Optical Fiber:

1. Sensors -The durability and inertness of sapphire fibers enable the acquisition of optical signals from single crystal fibers under harsh environmental conditions. blue  Jewel fibers can reach into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine or cylinder, so that the light signal can be transmitted to the outside for light  Analysis of the spectrum. Fuel composition, contamination, combustion products, and combustion chemicals can all be monitored.  This makes it possible to control the fuel mix ratio, flow rate and time. Sapphire fibers can also be used in semiconductor processing  NaF plasma processing.

2. Laser transmission -The Er.YAG laser produces a beam with a wavelength of 2.94um, which is extremely useful in medicine.  There are several fiber optic materials that can be used to deliver lasers to the surgeon's or dentist's handheld medical device. Sapphire fiber/light guide

3. Medical field: In medical imaging and laser therapy, sapphire optical fibers can be applied to high-temperature treatment, as well as precise laser cutting and treatment of biological tissues.

4. Scientific research and industrial applications: Sapphire fiber is also an ideal choice for research and industrial applications that require high-strength and high-reliability fiber optic communications. 5. Laser systems: Used to manufacture high-power lasers, especially those laser applications that require high temperature and corrosion resistance.
