New Possibilities: UV LEDs and lasers are more cost effective than deuterium and xenon lamps. As a result, optical fibers are becoming more and more interesting for UV transmission.
Step-index fibers optimized for ultraviolet and visible wavelengths are often referred to as high-OH fibers.
Standard and dual-clad step-index fibers with a low-OH core for wavelengths between 650 nm and 1900 nm.
