Optical Fibers Bifurcated Fiber Optic Assemblies Use to combine similar intensity light from differing sources or to split a light source into two fibers. For use with a dual spectrometer as a reference. BIF22 BIF44 BIF41 BIF62 BIF66 Split or combine similar intensities (200/200) Split or combine similar intensities (400/400) Combine UV (400) + VIS (100) Combine UV (600) + VIS (200) Split or Combine Similar Intensities (600/600) UV/VIS WPI can build custom fiber optic assemblies for many UV/VIS/NIR applications. Call for more information. More flexible than glass fibers, these inexpensive PMMA plastic fibers can be used for illumination and scientific applications. They are excellent for light transfer between 350 nm and 1000 nm. Their maximum temperature should be kept below 80° C.

The lifetime of such a fiber, defined by the 1/e reduction in transmission at 240 nm, is normally less than 200 minutes. This effect renders them unsuitable for UV spectroscopy below 240 nm. Anti-solarization fibers suitable for deep UV spectroscopy solve this problem. These fibers stabilize to less than 5% degradation over a period of 20,000 hours after an initial transmission “burn-in” loss of less than 25%. Additionally, this anti-solarization characteristic will not degrade over time. Attenuation dB/km 1000— Over 20,000 hours with less than 5% degradation!
