OPTICAL
ROD
Fibers
larger
than .062
inches
in diameter
are referred
to as
optic
rods.
They are
used for
windows
to eliminate
dust and
dirt,
viewing
ports
for high
vacuum
systems,
optical
high voltage
isolators,
light
integrators
to mix
light
coming
from a
fiber,
and many
other
applications.
Optical
Rod is
available
in diameters
ranging
from .010"
(.25mm)
to .250"
(6.3mm),
and lengths
from 1"
(25mm)
to 60"
(1.5M).
Rods are
shipped
ground
and polished,
and ready
for use.
Rods
of a larger
diameter
(up to
.5"
(12mm)
can be
made,
but require
special
handling.

us
for more
information.
When
optical
rods are
gathered
and drawn
again,
a “multi”
rod is
created.
These
rods are
superior
for curing
and “taper”
applications,
because
they transfer
a high
percentage
of energy
normally
lost in
bent mono
rods.
Multi
rods are
also suitable
for use
as image
conduit
for applications
requiring
transmission
of an
image.

Optical
Rod, and
related
tapered
product
is a custom
component,
manufactured
to tight
tolerances
per the
customer's
specification.

purity
material
available.
The same
