More Information
Summary:A transmission line for optical radiation is disclosed, which has at least one optical fiber with core and cladding. The core consists of vitreous synthetic silicon dioxide, and the cladding of bitreous synthetic silicon dioxide doped with boric oxide and/or fluorine. The fiber is cooled over substantially its entire length to a temperature below 220 K. for the transmission of optical radiation in the wavelength range from 160 to 300 nm. Such transmission lines are used in spectroscopy, in machining processes, in medicine and chemical processes, and for biological purposes.
