Nickel coated optical fibers

Our nickel coated optical fibers can withstand high temperatures up to 700°C in air for a year, 600°C in air for 2 years and 500°C in air for 10 years. Our special metallization technology delivers optical fibers 20 dB/km attenuation, which is very low for such a hard coating material. ENDUROFIBER nickel coated optical fibers were experimentally verified to be compliant with majority of the distributed sensing techniques.
