This
fiber configuration was designed for users who need a pure synthetic fused
silica core fiber combined with an ultra high numerical aperture (NA).
This Polymicro manufactured fiber can be supplied with various buffers
and/or jackets. Core sizes range from 125µm to over 760µm. This fiber has
the best combination of ultra high NA, high strength and wide band
spectral transmission. The high spectral fidelity in the visible (no
yellowing of source color) makes it the perfect replacement for
borosilicate fibers where “white” light is needed.
