Where to Buy Fiber Optics

Guiding Photonics produces fiber-optic beam delivery solutions for mid-infrared, high-power and UV sources, including standard products, custom cables, and fiber bundles.

LVF offers the largest range of fluoride fibers in the world, including passive fibers and active fibers for applications ranging from visible to mid-infrared.

• ZrF₄ (fluorozirconate) fibers transmit light from 0.3 µm up to 4.5 µm.
• InF₃ (fluoroindate) fibers transmit light from 0.3 µm up to 5.5 µm.
• GeO₂ (germanate) fibers are qualified for high power handling around 2.7–3.0 µm (Er:YAG and Er:YSSG medical lasers).

LVF fluoride fibers are the most transparent fibers on the market in the mid-infrared 2–5 µm band.

We offer fiber optic components including the laser beam coupler of series 60SMS for coupling into a polarization-maintaining fiber cables, fiber collimators of series 60FC. The polarization analyzers series SK010PA are universal measurement and test systems for coupling laser beam sources into polarization-maintaining fiber cables.

Optical fibers are at the heart of everything we do at NKT Photonics. We utilize our unique PCF technology to embed as many of the functions we need directly in the fibers, making systems built with our fibers simpler, cheaper and more reliable. Our photonic crystal fiber portfolio of specialty fibers spans from nonlinear fibers optimized for octave-spanning supercontinuum generation, over the World’s largest single mode ytterbium gain fibers for high power lasers and amplifiers, to advanced hollow-core fibers. Our single-mode LMA fibers are also available as patch cords with standard termination in our aeroGUIDE product range. Moreover, we offer the CONNECT broadband fiber delivery system.

Edmund Optics offers a variety of fiber optics, including jacketed or unjacketed optical grade or communications grade optical fibers. Optical grade fiber is ideal for general industrial lighting or short distance data transmission. Communications grade fiber is designed for optimal visible light transmission for digital or analog links. Jacketed fiber has increased durability while decreasing stray light. Edmund Optics also offers optical fiber components, including patchcords, collimators, faceplates and image conduits, fiber connectors, and the tools needed for cutting or stripping fibers.

Hollow core fibers are a unique solution enabling the delivery of ultrashort laser pulses (with femtosecond, picosecond or nanosecond duration) with extremely low attenuation and nearly no temporal and spectral distortion. The hollow core fibers can be used from the UV up to the mid-infrared.

iXblue offers a wide range of specialty optical fibers, either for lasers and amplifiers or sensing applications. Hundreds of fiber designs are available from stock on dedicated e-store. Custom versions are also available. Most of the fibers are also available in radiation-resistant versions, either for nuclear environments or for space missions.

CSRayzer provides various kinds of fiber-optic components, including polarization-maintaining and single-mode fiber couplers, WDM couplers, isolators, circulators, filters, phase shifters, collimators and hybrid components. These components could work in full temperature conditions, and suitable for special applications such as aerospace and military.
