APPLICATIONS
These fibers are interesting because they offer a very good flexibility. Indeed, the flexibility of the fiber varies as the inverse 4th power of the diameter. For example, a 100μm fiber is 16 times more flexible than a 200μm fiber. The tapered fibers give the user high throughput capability without sacrificing their flexibility in both energy delivery and spectroscopy applications.
