|
|
|||
The Luxlink®.OG-1001 is a non-curing optical coupling gel. This is a stable index-matching synthetic gel with a wide temperature range. The index of this gel is 1.457, which matches the index for silica glass (fiber optic cable). The gel is transparent to radiation in the near UV, the visible, and the near infrared. Use of the gel is to minimize reflection at air gap between fiber optic end faces. Designed for high optical clarity with absorption loss less then 0.0005% per micron of path length. Ultra filtered so that no particles larger then 34 um, nor more then 300 particles greater then 1 um per cubic centimeter. Sold in 0.4 oz containers. (Note we also have Optical Gel with an index of 1.517 for BK-7 glass OG-1052) Price $86 USD exworks NY USA (ground shipping contenental USA $9) |
