Metal-coated silica fibres offer higher mechanical and chemical robustness than polymer-coated fibres for many applications in harsh environment conditions (high temperature, radiation…).

Main characteristics :

  • Custom multimode or singlemode silica fibres
  • Handling wide temperature/radiative ranges
  • Water/hydrogen sealing barrier
  • Drawing of customer’s preform available

Applications :

  • Signal transmission in harsh environment
  • High power active fibre cooling
  • Distributive temperature sensing
