Multimode Fiber, Step Index, 500-2100 nm, 0.22 NA, 550 µm Core, High Power

The F-MFC (Mfg. P/N: CF01493-53) High Power Density Fiber has a pure silica 550 μm core and a silica 600 μm cladding, providing an ultra-high damage threshold. In addition, a chemically bonded hard coat adds high strength and increases fatigue resistance. The fiber's low OH- content makes it most suitable for operation in the 500 to 2100 nm wavelength range. It can tolerate peak power density levels nearing 1 GW/cm2. This Step Index fiber has a 0.22 NA.
This bare fiber does not include a protective fiber jacket. Standard pricing is per meter. The following volume discount schedule is applied when ordering continuous lengths of optical fiber: 10 - 49 m: 15%, 50 - 99 m: 22%, 100 - 499 m: 25%, and ≥ 500 m: 28%.
High Damage Threshold Fibers
Our High-Power Density Fibers have a pure silica core and a silica cladding, providing an ultra-high damage threshold. In addition, a chemically bonded hard coat adds high strength and increases fatigue resistance. The fibers’ low OH- content makes them most suitable for operation in the 500–2100 nm wavelength ranges. Fibers in this category, offered in 365 and 550 µm core diameters, can tolerate peak power density levels nearing 1 GW/cm2.
Applications
