Silica fibers

Description

Silica fibers

CeramOptec® offers its Optran® HUV / HWF fibers as a cost-effective alternative to silica / silica fibers. They provide high numerical aperture values, minimal bend losses and efficient connectorisation for a wide range of applications.

High NA at a low price
