Radiation resistant fibers
SMPS Series

This single mode fiber has a pure silica core unlike telecommunication types that use doped silica. Pure silica resists radiation damage much better than doped silica and so this fiber should be used by those wishing to use single mode fiber in an environment where radiation is present. It is suitable for 1300 and 1550 nm wavelengths.
