High Numerical Aperture
Armadillo SIA’s high numerical aperture optical fibers redefine possibilities in applications that rely on superior numerical aperture values. Numerical Aperture (NA) fundamentally influences optical fiber performance by determining its light-gathering ability and the amount of light that can be transmitted efficiently, crucial for achieving exceptional precision in various optical applications.
ArmD® UV-HC and ArmD® NIR-HC hard polymer-clad fibers offer high numerical apertures to suit a broad range of applications, from remote illumination to photodynamic therapy. This high-quality fiber is a cost-effective alternative to silica/silica fibers. Explore our range of jacket types and sizes, including customizable options crafted to precisely meet your specifications.
Armadillo’s plastic-clad silica fibers ensure high transmission values across UV to NIR wavelengths, catering to applications ranging from remote illumination to high-power laser delivery and spectroscopy. Our ArmD® UV-SC and NIR-SC fibers, excelling in UV and MIR transmission, provide full bio-compatibility and cost-effective alternatives to traditional silica fibers.
NIR-Ge fibers stand out through maximum numerical aperture (NA) of 0.37. These silica-core fibers excel in performance and offer an expansive spectral range. Armadillo SIA’s NIR-Ge fibers are available in a wide range of core diameter options that can be tailored to your specifications.
Borosilicate fibers provide significant advantages across various applications at a lower cost. They excel in light transmission and allow for tight packing in fiber bundles due to their high core-to-clad ratios. Bundle lengths are recommended to exceed no more than 30ft to maintain transmission efficiency.
