The FT400UMT by ThorLabs is a multimode optical fiber that boasts increased strength and reduced static fatigue in humid environments, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including spectroscopy, optogenetics, and medical diagnostics. The FT400UMT boasts high core-clad bonding that prevents pistoning and provides more stable crimp-and-cleave or epoxy termination.
One of the key features of the FT400UMT is its TECS hard fluoropolymer cladding, which not only increases the fiber's strength but also protects it during stripping. The silica-to-TECS cladding bonding is incredibly strong, preventing pistoning and ensuring more stable terminations. Additionally, it's worth noting that the TECS cladding can be removed using acetone if necessary. With a high OH numerical aperture of 0.39, the FT400UMT offers impressive transmission from the UV to the NIR in the 300 to 1200 nm range. This makes it a versatile and reliable choice for a variety of applications.
