High Transparency and Durability
Xtreme Solarization-resistant Optical Fiber and
Probe Assemblies for spectroscopy are manufactured using a
proprietary process that provides enhanced UV transmission (signal
will transmit to 180 nm) and remarkable resistance to UV
degradation, making it ideal for deep-UV applications (<300 nm).
Ocean Optics is the only spectroscopy manufacturer to offer XSR
Fiber. Solarization in Typical Fibers
Solarization in Typical Fibers UV radiation below 300 nm
degrades transmission in standard silica fibers, resulting in solarization
(increased light absorption in the UV fiber that can invalidate data). For
applications below 300 nm, we recommend our Premium-grade XSR Xtreme
Solarization-resistant Fiber and Probe Assemblies, which are available for
immediate delivery in standard lengths. Shorter lengths for solarization-resistant
assemblies maximize UV throughput. Custom lengths are available; however,
we recommend speaking with our Applications Scientists before ordering.
High Production Values
Our XSR products are part of our high-quality
Premium-grade line of optical fibers and probes, which are high-quality
assemblies that consistently deliver uniform results with minimal signal
variance. XSR Fiber and Probe Assemblies are robust and durable; each
assembly has an aluminum coating, stainless-steel BX jacketing, and our
high-quality Premium-grade SMA 905 Connectors with captive end caps that
protects fiber tips against scratches and contaminants. And like all of
our optical fibers, the XSR assemblies are precisely polished to work with
our miniature fiber optic spectrometers and accessories.

LTBR stands for Long Term Bend Radius, the bend radius allowed long term
(such as for storage) before damaging the fiber.
** STBR stands for Short Term Bend Radius, the momentary bend radius
allowed before damaging the fiber.
