fiber-optic selection information
By TQ March 7, 2023
Basing your optical component selections on single properties like numerical aperture (N.A.) or fiber diameter can backfire on you. However, you can reduce the probability of potential problems by reviewing real-life data revealing the impact of varied fiber-optic formulations on the transmission of broad-spectrum light. After assessing this post on fiber properties and potential pitfalls […] The post Don’t Be Casual in Your Selection of Borosilicate Fibers for Precision Lighting Systems appeared first on TechniQuip.
