Request InfoFiberLogix International Ltd.FiberLogix Ltd. has launched a line of polyimide-coated fibers for oil and gas, aerospace, sensors, defense, medical and security applications. The fibers operate from –65 to 400 °C, with long-term operation at 360 °C in harsh environments. The company uses two proprietary polymers to form dual layers on the fiber glass cladding. The inner soft material protects the fiber from microbend forces and provides good adhesion to the cladding, while the hard outer thin layer provides abrasion resistance and minimizes friction. The line includes single-mode, high-numerical-aperture, multimode and...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 1/13/2023Nano SensorsThe NanoCeramic series of sensors from Queensgate Instruments provides nanoscale precision for demanding environments such as ultrahigh vacuum to 1010 Torr and a range of temperatures from cryogenic...Photonics Spectra September 2022 IssueMWIR Continuous Zoom LensThe Ophir® LightIR 18- to 225-mm MWIR f/4 continuous zoom lens from MKS Instruments Inc. is a compact thermal imaging lens optimized for 10-µm SXGA/HD and 15-µm VGA focal plane array...Vision Spectra Autumn 2022 IssueMachine Vision PlatformThe EasyVision platform from Flex Logix Technologies Inc. is a machine vision platform for a wide range of markets such as robotics, industrial, security, and retail analytics.
