The Fibercore polarization maintaining fibers are optimized for operation at 488/514, 633, 820 and 1300/1550 nm wavelengths and have a beat-length of less than 2 mm. The beat-length, the length over which the fiber polarization rotates through 360°, is a fundamental measure of the polarization-preserving performance of the fiber. The shorter the beat-length, the better the polarization-preserving properties of the fiber.
The F-SPPC-13 and F-SPPC-15 fibers are polarization maintaining fibers specifically made to be compatible with standard telecom fibers and PANDA™ polarization-preserving fibers. Splicing these fibers to PANDA™ fibers routinely results in a splicing loss of <0.2 dB and an extinction ratio of -32 dB.
Typical applications for these fibers include transmission of polarized optical power, polarimetric sensors, polarization state sensors, coherent transmission and detection, and other applications in which the state of polarization of the launched light is to be preserved in the fiber.
Corning's PANDA PM fibers offer low attenuation and excellent birefringence for high performance applications. The operating wavelengths range from 400-1500 nm with beat lengths ranging from less than 1.7mm to 5mm. Typical applications include high performance transmission laser pigtails, polarization-based modlators, high-data-rate communications systems, polarization-sensitive components, Raman amplifiers fiber optic sensors, gyroscopes and instrumentation.
