This is a specialized single-mode polyimide small-diameter optical fiber designed for environments requiring both compact physical dimensions and high thermal stability.
Technical Overview
The OFSCN® 300℃ Small Diameter Optical Fiber is engineered with a reduced cladding diameter of 80μm (compared to the standard 125μm) and a total coating diameter of only 100μm. This makes it ideal for high-density sensing arrays, compact medical devices, and aerospace applications where space is at a premium.

Key Specifications
- Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -200℃ to +350℃ (short-term) or -270℃ to +350℃ depending on the specific configuration.
- Geometry: 9μm Core / 80μm Cladding / 100μm Coating.
- Coating Material: Polyimide, providing excellent mechanical strength and resistance to chemicals.
- Core Options:
- Doped Core: Standard for most sensing and communication tasks (based on G.652D).
- Pure Silica Core: Available for radiation environments or specific sensing requirements to minimize hydrogen darkening.
Applications
Due to its thin profile and polyimide coating, this fiber is frequently used as the base material for manufacturing high-temperature FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors or for distributed sensing in tight spaces.
