Plastic Imaging Fibers
Kuraray Plastic Imaging Fibers can transfer images to other side.
Our Plastic Imaging Fibers are much more flexible and resistant to breakage than glass fibers.

Formulation Examples
| Pixel | Diameter(mm) | Core Material | Clad Material | NA | Strand Diameter(μm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6,000 | 0.5 | PS | PMMA | 0.55 | 6.1 |
| 10,000 | 0.8 | 4.6 |
Applications
- Medical endoscope, Industrial fiberscope
Features
Flexibility
- Young’s modulus is twentieth of glass fibers.
- Easy to bend, strong to breakage.
Wending a 0.5mmΦ 10,000 pixels Plastic Imaging Fiber onto a 13mmΦ stick, our Plastic Imaging Fiber has no breakage and the optical loss is very low.
Bending Loss
- Very low bending loss.
High NA 0.55 (PS core and PMMA cladding)
- High resolution is achieved by fine and high pixels.
Cross Talk
- High picture resolution
Custom-made
- Customize the outer diameter and pixel to fit your needs.
