Intended for work in the mid-infrared range
Non-toxic, very elastic and transparent to light in the range from 4µm to 18µm. Can work in range from -200°C to 250°C
PIR fibers are produced with a core/clad structure of high purity AgCl: AgBr crystals
Free of aging effect
APPLICATION
- Radiation transfer systems for CO and CO2 lasers
- IR imaging systems
- Remote non-contact pyrometry in the range from 100 K to 600 K
- Fiber optic probes for in-line, in-vivo IR spectroscopy
