Applications
Primarily selected for applications such as spectroscopy, medical diagnostics, medical technology, laser deliverysystems, and various others.
- Fiber type - UV = ArmD® UV | WF = ArmD® WF | WFGE = ArmD® WFGE | HUV = ArmD® HUV | HWF = ArmD® HWF
- Standard core / cladding ratios - Core ø (μm) / Cladding ø (μm)
- Buffer - H = hard polymer buffer | No information = silicone buffer
- Colour - B = black | BL = blue | W = white | Y = yellow | R = red | G = green | No information = transparent
- Jacket material - A = acrylate jacket (no buffer) | F = PFA Fluon® | N = nylon jacket (silicone or hard polymer jacket) T= ETFE jacket (silicone or hard polymer buffer) | P = polyimide jacket (no buffer)
- Numerical aperture (NA) - 12 = 0,12 | 28 = 0,28 | No information = 0,22 (standard)
