Laser Components and Accessories
Geophysical Fibers
Sense temperature, pressure, flow, acoustics, or strain in harsh environments. Pure silica core SM or graded index MM fiber has superior thermal, chemical and hydrogen resistance.
Coherent fibers offer an unmatched combination of ruggedness, reliability, and optical performance for distributed sensing methods in structural monitoring, perimeter sensing, security and downhole oil & gas applications.
Key Product Benefits
Choose from coating options, including mid-temperature acrylate (150 °C), silicone (200 °C) polyimide (300 °C), and carbon for industry-leading temperature and chemical resistance.
