UV Fibers
New Possibilities: UV LEDs and lasers are more cost effective than deuterium and xenon lamps.
As a result, optical fibers are becoming more and more interesting for UV transmission.

UV-VIS Fibers
Step-index fibers optimized for ultraviolet and visible wavelengths are often referred to as high-OH fibers.
VIS-NIR Fibers
Standard and dual-clad step-index fibers with a low-OH core for wavelengths between 650 nm and 1900 nm.

Broad Spectrum Optical Fibers
Broadband fibers support wavelengths from the UV to near infrared range.
They are ideal for spectroscopy.
