Gold coated optical fibers
Our gold coated optical fibers can withstand high temperatures up to 900°C in air for an indefinite time. Due to the process of glass annealing and possible splicing of gold to other surfaces, we recommend to use this type of product for short range applications. ENDUROFIBER gold coated optical fibers were experimentally verified to be compliant with majority of the distributed sensing techniques.
