PIR fibers

Polycrystalline (PIR) Fibers

Category:

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
