Silver Halide Fibers Under Development for Mid-IR Imaging

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Daniel S. Burgess

Continuing their efforts to develop fibers that transmit mid-IR radiation for endoscopic imaging applications in medicine and industry, a team of scientists at Tel Aviv University in Israel has fabricated 2- and 0.7-mm-diameter bundles of silver halide fibers with a single-fiber attenuation of 2.3 and 9.4 dB/m, respectively. The researchers note that there currently are no fibers suitable for the transmission of 3- to 30-µm mid-IR radiation, so thermal imaging has been restricted to line-of-sight situations. Although bundles of small-bore, hollow-core waveguides have been proposed as a...Read full article
