OPTRAN® UV, OPTRAN® WF
Silica/Silica Fiber with Optional Buffers: Hard Polymer, Silicone, or Polyimide
Innovative Fiber Optics...Every Step of the Way™
CeramOptec’s high quality Optran UV and Optran WF fiber exhibits impressive performance and transmission from the deep
UV to the IR. With exceptional radiation resistance and broad temperature capability, Optran UV and Optran WF are ideal for
applications including spectroscopy, Thomson scattering, and medical diagnostics. We offer a choice of several jacket types
and sizes—as well as custom-designed products and sizes to meet your specifications. For instance, our new Optran WF with
a hard polymer buffer features Cleave N Connect™ technology to eliminate messy silicone stripping.
