Harsh Enviornment Optical Fibers

Harsh environment optical fibers are designed for use at elevated temperatures and pressures in aggressive chemical environments. Typical applications include the Oil and Gas industry, where the fibers are used for real-time downhole temperature and pressure measurements, data transmission and imaging applications. Verrillon's harsh environment fibers are manufactured with a wide range of polymeric coatings including Polyimide, Silicone, Silicone-PFA and Acrylates. In addition, Verrillon's fibers are available with a hermetic coating that resists hydrogen, moisture and acid ingression. The fibers are suitable for operation over a wide range of temperatures up to 300ºC, depending on the coating combination selected. They are also available in a variety of different waveguide designs, including Multimode, Singlemode, Pure Silica Core and custom profiles.
