Effective dispersion compensation is a key requirement for many applications involving ultrafast lasers and broadband optical signals. Cycle can offer a variety of dispersion compensating fibers to satisfy the needs of your application. Our products include:

• single-mode dispersion compensating fibers (SM-DCF) and
• polarization-maintaining dispersion compensating fibers (PM-DCF)

with different connector types and customized lengths. Please contact us for more information.

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.

Our large port­folio of optical fibers spans from just a few meters of highly engineered fiber to several kilometers of SMF-28 compatible material:

• single mode (SM) fibers
• multi mode (MM) fibers
• polarization maintaining (PM) fibers
• doped Fibers
• plastic optical fibers (POF)
• other optical fibers like large-core MM fibers, photonic crystal fibers (PCF) or photonic bandgap fibers

Cover your specific requirements with features like:

• extended temperature range
• high core index of refraction
• different numerical aperture
• bend insensitivity
• variations of cladding diameters
• different coating options ranging from acrylate to aluminium or gold for very high temperatures

Our suppliers have all the capabilities to design and fabricate a custom optical fiber exactly tailored to your specifications.

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.

Optical fibers are at the heart of everything we do. We embed as many functions as possible directly into the fibers to make systems based on our fibers simpler, cheaper, and more reliable. Our Crystal Fibre portfolio spans from nonlinear fibers 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 guiding the light in air.
