Universal Clad (UniClad) optical
fibre from Fiberguide is designed for
integration into fibre-based lasers
and OEM systems performing high
power transmission. It uses a large
core-to-clad ratio to reduce stress
transfer to its core, maintaining laser
beam quality and improving focal
ratio degradation in lasers used for
cutting, welding, drilling, soldering
and marking.

The fibre has a pure fused silica
core and doped fused silica cladding
with a polymer coating. It has a fixed
500µm cladding dia. for 100-400µm
core sizes; proportionately larger
cladding for 600-800µm cores, to make
laser alignment and splicing easier.
