The BFL37-600 by ThorLabs is a standard polymer hard cladding, multimode, step-index fiber that is designed for a wide range of applications such as photodynamic therapy and remote illumination. The fiber possesses a high numerical aperture, which permits greater versatility when handling various tasks. Plus, it is an economical substitute to silica or silica fiber. The BFL37-600 is simple to install and use with its easy termination that does not include a psitoning effect.
The BFL37-600 features a low OH range of 400-2200 nm, reduced static fatigue, and lower microbend losses, making it perfect for applications where precision and durability are essential. Clad in pure silica, this step-index fiber is considered in the USP Class VI for non-toxicity and biocompatibility. It has an operating temperature range of -40 to 150 °C, ensuring its suitability for use in a wide range of environments. With a numerical aperture of 0.37 ± 0.02, a proof test level of 70 kpsi, and a minimum bend radius of 300 x Clad Radius long term, this fiber is sure to meet the demands of even the most challenging applications.
