Polarization Maintaining Fiber

Fibermart offers a wide range of Polarization Maintaining Optical Fiber, PANDA PM Fiber (Polarisation Maintaining and Reduced Absorption) for a number of applications.

We supply a wide range of coating types such as UV, UV/Polyamide PVC cord, flame retardant, reduced diameter and polyimide for high temperature applications, and can manufacture custom PANDA fibers. Our PM Fibers are suitable for both low polarisation-crosstalk and low attenuation, as well as fusion splice or optical connector. 

Key features include:

• High dimensional accuracy in cross-section and longitudinal uniformity
• Excellent optical properties such as low loss and low polarization crosstalk
• Large selection of products by wavelength, coating and type of usage (small radius bending, extreme temperatures, etc.)
• RoHS compliant
• Extremely high birefringence
• Excellent polarisation maintaining properties
• Low attenuation
• Single-mode designs from 400nm – 1550nm
• Dual-layer UV acrylate and 900μm polyester-elastomer coatings available
• Low sensitivity to bending-induced attenuation
• Low splice loss

Key applications include:

• Polarisation-based modulators
• High data rate communications systems
• Polarisation sensitive components
• Fibre laser components
• Pump Lasers
• Fiber optic sensors
• Splitters, combiners, tap couplers
• Optical gyroscopes

Our customers range from small-scale manufacturers producing a few fibre optic pigtails, to large organisations making optical gyroscopes for global navigation systems for the aviation and maritime industries. Other markets include fibre laser manufacturers, telecommunications equipment suppliers and manufacturers of scientific equipment.
