That's sort of the whole idea about thin IR fibers. I'd be more concerned about whether the IR wavelength they use for free space is close enough to what's used in IR fibers. That shouldn't be hard to google up This is almost certainly not the right choice but it pops up in a casual froogle http://www.sciplus.com/singleItem.cfm?terms=11034&cartLogFrom=froogle As for terminating, I'd expect the signal to be so strong you could just glue the ends near the lenses without even learning how it's properly done _______________________________________________ Wear-Hard mailing listhttp://www.haven.org/mailman/listinfo/wear-hard
