QVLUX-series fiber has been engineered to not only provide superior transmission in the UV but have excellent consistency over length. This makes QVLUX a perfect choice for critical measurements or where ‘plug-and-play’ capability is required without having to recalibrate after a fiber assembly change. Standard silica fiber exhibits a 'solarization impact' when transmitting light in the UV below ~280 nm.
Over time, depending on the optically transmitted power, the fiber's ability to transmit UV light drops off. Our QVLUX fiber offers superior resistance to solarization. The lowest basic attenuation of our solarization resistant fiber is at 200nm (<1 dB/m) and the lowest solarization at 214 nm on the market. WPI is the only company offering DIN 58145:2018-01 certified low solarization UV fibers and assemblies.
