Buying Germanate Fibers
Germanate fibers are optical fibers based on germanate glass, often featuring a lead-germanate core. Compared with silica fibers, germanate fibers have extended infrared transmission capabilities, making them suitable for mid-infrared applications such as spectroscopy and medical diagnostics.
