Role of Solarization Resistant Fiber in optimizing the deep UV rays

To overcome the disadvantages of the limitation on smaller fiber diameters and limited lifespan of other fibers, Solarization resistant fiber is introduced in the global market. While most spectroscopic applications with fiber optics have been restricted to wavelength range above 230 nm because of the usages of silica fiber, there only Solarization resistant fiber is more flexible in range than other fibers. This type of fiber can be delivered with all kind of fiber-optic probes, cables and bundles whether it be core diameters of 100 µm, 200 µm, 400 µm, 600 µm, 800 µm and 1000 µm. This actually happens because of the solarization effect that is induced by the formation of “color centers” and these color centers are formed when impurities exist in the core fiber material and form unbound electron pairs on the Si atom, which are affected by the deep-UV radiation.

In terms of present good radiation tolerance to transient and steady state environments this type of fibers are doing far better job than compare to other classes of multimode optical fibers with pure or doped cores. This is because Solarization fibers are more optimized for the transport of high power of ultraviolet (UV) light.

Solarization resistant fiber has been improved by optimizing various aspects of the fiber. That also includes the design of the fiber and the post processing of this type of fiber is on completely another matter of discussion all together. You can notice the significant improvement in the solarization resistance fiber performance compared to the other Deep UV optimized fibers. In this case, the UV-defect concentrations have been reduced significantly, such that the Solarization degradation properties are optimized.
