FIGH series
PI type
Fujikura's image fiber is silica based coherent image fiber. Numbers of silica cores are together with melted silica cladding, which composes a multi-core optical fiber. Those fibers are used for the image transmission of fiber scopes applications.
Features
・High temperature resistant type with Polyimide resin coating
・Higher heat resistance than other types
・Long size image fiber is possible by excellent light transmission properties
・Applicable for biocompatibility(USP classⅥ)
