ZBLAN Mid-Infrared Large Core Power Transmission Fiber, Core Diameter 400μm

ZBLAN fiber is a composite glass fiber composed of heavy metal fluorides such as ZrF4, BaF2, LaF3, AlF3, and NaF. Compared to the widely used silica fiber, ZBLAN fiber offers a wide transmission wavelength range (0.35μm to 4μm) and high emission efficiency when doped with rare earth ions. Through the development of a unique fiber manufacturing technology, Idealphotonics Optics has introduced a low-cost method to produce high-quality (especially low-loss) fluoride fibers.

Product features：The effective transmission range is from 300nm to 5500nm、 Outstanding spectral uniformity、 High laser damage threshold、 Ideal choice for ho and erbium laser transmission、 High core-to-cladding ratio for high efficiency beams

Application area：Laser remote sensing spectroscopy、 Chemical sensing、 Medical diagnostics、 Laser beam transmission、 FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared)、 Thermometers
