Applications

  1. Fiber type - UV = ArmD®️ UV | NIR = ArmD®️ NIR | SRC = ArmD®️ UV-SRC | SHP = ArmD®️ Shaped | NGE = ArmD®️ NIR-Ge | UHC = ArmD®️ UV-HC | NHC = ArmD®️ NIR-HC | MID = ArmD®️ MID-IR | BBD = ArmD®️ Broadband
  2. Standard core / cladding ratios - Core ø (μm) / Cladding ø (μm)
  3. Buffer - H = hard polymer buffer | S = silicone buffer | No information = no buffer
  4. Colour - B = black | BL = blue | W = white | Y = yellow | R = red | G = green | No information = transparent
  5. 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)
  6. Numerical aperture (NA) - 12 = 0.12 | 28 = 0.28 | 22 = 0.22
