High Temp Fibre Optics 1

[NOx]

Hi
Can anyone help, I am lookin at fibre optic cable and its use in high temp enviroment > 1000 Deg C, unfortunatley the max temp I have seen is 400 Deg C.
Is there a product available, sapphire fibre with platinum coating maybe or are these temperatures unatainable.

My long experience had taught me that if something is difficult, try something else.

What are you trying to do?

Thanks IRstuff, great help, good links.

I am looking at trying to install fibre optical cable into a furnace to monitor heat profile.
