Product Description
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. PCFs are generally divided into two main categories: Index Guiding fibers that have a solid core, and Photonic Bandgap fibers that have periodic microstructured 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 PCFs, F-NL Series Nonlinear PCFs, and F-AIR Series Photonic Bandgap or Air Guiding fibers, manufactured by Crystal Fibre, the biggest commercial supplier of photonic crystal fibers. Also offered are the Photonic Crystal Fiber Starter Kit (F-PCF-KIT) and, the newest addition, SCG-800 self contained Supercontinuum Generator. Please refer to our Fiber Tutorial Section for more detailed information on the properties of Photonic Crystal Fibers.
