The Multi component glass fiber “UVF-40” has low transmittance decrease.
The past multi element glass changed into the state that the metal ion go into the photoabsorption by UV light, and this was a cause of the transmittance decrease (solarization phenomenon).
The transmission loss is smaller than a past multi element fiber in UV (350nm), and the reliability is higher.
The Liquid Lightguide is a breakthrough in light guide technology. Replacing glass fibers by liquid it set completely new standards for transmission efficiency. The outstanding properties, especially in the ultraviolet spectrum, opened up a whole new range of applications for the optical industry. Over the years the product line has been diversified and refined to cover a spectrum from 250nm to 2000nm.
