Regarding the technical specifications of the OFSCN® 200℃ Polyimide Optical Fiber, it is a high-performance fiber designed for sensing and communication in demanding environments.
Technical Analysis
This fiber utilizes a medium-temperature polyimide coating, which provides superior thermal stability compared to standard acrylate-coated fibers. It is particularly effective for Distributed Fiber Sensing (DTS/OFDR/BOTDA) and data transmission in industrial or aerospace environments where temperatures fluctuate between -60°C and +200°C.
Key Technical Parameters:
- Fiber Types: Available in Single-mode (SM) based on G.652D or bend-insensitive G.657 standards, and Multi-mode (MM) with 50/125 or 62.5/125 configurations.
- Geometric Dimensions: Standard cladding diameter of 125μm with a coating diameter of approximately 155μm (thin-profile design).
- Core Material: Doped silica core is standard, while pure silica core is available for radiation-resistant applications.
- Coating: Low-stress polyimide; optional carbon coating can be added to enhance hydrogen and moisture resistance.
