Photonic Crystal Fibers
Photonic Crystal Fibers

  • High power threshold for fiber nonlinearities
  • High peak power of guided mode before material breakdown threshold is reached
  • Ability to fill the core or cladding with gasses or liquids
  • Low Fresnel reflection from the fiber facets
  • Large span of dispersion values achievable: from highly negative to highly positive
  • Fibers are practically bend insensitive to even several turns on sub-centimeter diameter spools

Product Description
The following volume discount schedule is automatically applied when ordering bare optical fiber: 6 - 30 m with 15 %, 31- 500 m with 22 %, >500 m with 25 %

Newport's Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCFs) can provide characteristics that ordinary optical fiber cannot, such as: single mode operation from the UV to IR with large mode-field diameters, highly nonlinear performance for super continuum generation, numerical aperture (NA) values ranging from very low to about 0.9, optimized dispersion properties, and air core guidance, among others. Applications for PCFs include spectroscopy, metrology, biomedicine, imaging, telecommunication, industrial machining, and military, and the list keeps growing as the technology becomes a mainstream. Photonic crystal fibers are generally divided into two main categories: Index Guiding fibers that have a solid core, and Photonic Bandgap or air guiding fibers that have periodic micro-structured elements and a core of low index material (e.g. hollow core). A Classification tree is shown below in Fig. 1. Newport offers F-SM Series Large Mode Area, endlessly single-mode PCFs, F-NL Series Highly Nonlinear PCFs, and F-AIR Series Photonic Bandgap fibers, manufactured by Crystal Fibre, the biggest commercial supplier of photonic crystal fibers. Also offered is the SCG-800 self contained Supercontinuum Generator ...
