Fiberguide Industries, Inc. Fiber Optic Assemblies Chalcogenide Fiber

These multimode step index fibers have a chalcogenide core and chalcogenide cladding of lower refractive index, transmitting light from 1µm - 6µm. Are flexible and do not suffer from serious degradation by moisture ingress as with certain other types of fiber designed for similar wavelengths. Chalcogenide fibers do not have the tensile strength of silica fibers, however, they are quite easy to handle if given a suitable jacket for protection.
