PowerLightGuide UV Non-Solarizing Fused-End Fiber Optic Bundles Increase Transmission by 50%

PowerLightGuide Bundles are fused at the ends to eliminate inter-fiber spaces - while increasing throughput by 50% compared to liquid light guides. These fiber optic bundles will never solarize or deteriorate, unlike liquid light guides, and are ideal for UV applications.

EAST LONGMEADOW, MA; June 26, 2002: Tested for well over 40,000 continuous, unfiltered hours, PowerLightGuide UV Non-Solarizing all silica fiber optic bundles exhibit level, steady transmission at 95% of the original input. Ideal for wavelengths ranging from 190 to 1200 nm, PowerLightGuide bundles are fused at the ends to eliminate inter-fiber spaces -- without the need for epoxy and its inherent limiting properties.

PowerLightGuide fused-end bundles offer a distinct advantage over liquid light guides because they transmit 50% more throughput -- without solarization. Unlike liquid light guides, CeramOptecs new PowerLightGuide bundles are available in unlimited lengths and will not leak or deteriorate over time.

PowerLightGuide bundles are ideal for a broad range of applications -- even in high temperature and vacuum environments -- including UV spectroscopy, sensors, and the replacement of liquid light guides. A broad range of numerical apertures and lengths are available, as well as custom sizes. Used in applications with temperatures as high as 1500°C, PowerLightGuide bundles are a solid solution for UV spectroscopy.
