CorActive Mid-IR Products
Select Cutoff Singlemode Fibers
SPECIFICATIONS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CorActive delivers a full range of Infrared Transmission
(IRT) optical fibers to address beam delivery
requirements in the mid-IR region. CorActive’s IRT
series of infrared fiber solutions have been specifically
designed to provide ultra low loss optical transmission
while offering excellent mechanical properties.
CorActive’s mid-IR fibers enable significant
performance improvements in many applications
that have previously relied on free space optics, low
quality fiber or other beam delivery methods.
