SILICA FIBER OPTICS

A full-color brochure from InnovaQuartz Inc. titled “Silica Fiber Optics Accelerating Innovation” details silica-core optical fibers for applications in medicine, industry, science, defense and data communications. It presents features and specifications for the AFP Silica, amorphous fluoropolymer clad silica fibers, the SiPhyber and Aurora polyimide and semihermetic silica/silica fibers and the TEQS Powerflex, clad silica and hard polymer clad varieties. The document notes that the fibers are logically grouped by numerical aperture and temperature range. Besides diagrams, charts depicting typical spectral performance are provided.
