CorActive Wins Photonics Circle of Excellence for Mid-IR Transmission Fiber
CorActive Inc.announces that its revolutionary Mid-Infrared Transmission fiber (IRT-SU) for the 2 to 6 micron window has been awarded the prestigious “Photonics Circle of Excellence Award – Fiber Optics” by Photonics Spectra.
Quebec City, Quebec (PRWEB) January 27, 2005 -- CorActive Inc., an independent manufacturer of advanced specialty optical fiber products, announces that its revolutionary Mid-Infrared Transmission fiber (IRT-SU) for the 2 to 6 micron window has been awarded the prestigious “Photonics Circle of Excellence Award – Fiber Optics” by Photonics Spectra. CorActive accepted this award, which honors the 25 most technically innovative products of the year, at the Photonics West industry tradeshow in San Jose. CorActive’s revolutionary Mid-IR Transmission fiber is manufactured under an exclusive agreement with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and is a commercial off the shelf (COTS) product.
CorActive’s IRT-SU, a commercial off the shelf (COTS) product, addresses high power mid-IR optical transmission in the 2 micron to 6 micron range. Utilizing the NRL’s patented technologies and processes, CorActive provides complete cable assemblies that handle in excess of 1 GW/cm2 of pulsed optical power density. The actual Mid-IR fiber exhibits attenuation of the order of 0.2 dB/m and provides very high quality beam integrity. The overall performance of CorActive’s Mid-IR fibers is at least an order of magnitude better than alternative technologies.
An exclusive agreement with the Naval Research Laboratory provides for all commercial manufacturing and future development of the Mid-IR Transmission fiber by CorActive. CorActive is long standing commercial manufacturer of Specialty Optical Fibers. CorActive was chosen for this exclusive patent license due to its optical fiber production expertise, financial security and long-term commitment to customers using this advanced Mid-IR fiber.
