Where to Buy Multimode Fibers

LVF offers a large range of fluoride multimode optical fibers, for mid infrared applications:

• ZrF₄ (fluorozirconate) multimode fibers with transparency ranging from 0.3 to 4.5 µm (typical optical loss at 2.5 µm: <10 dB/km)
• InF₃ (fluoroindate) multimode fibers with transparency ranging from 0.3 to 5.5 µm (typical optical loss at 3.5 µm: <10 dB/km)
• GeO₂ (germanate) multimode fibers are qualified for high power handling around 2.7–3.0 µm (Er:YAG and Er:YSSG medical lasers).

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

iXblue offers a wide range of multimode specialty optical fibers, either for lasers and amplifiers or for sensing applications. Hundreds of fiber designs are available from stock on our dedicated e-store. Custom versions are also available. More specifically, multimode would consist of step index or graded index fibers with control of temporal dispersion. Most of the references are also available in radiation resistant versions, either for nuclear environment or for space missions.

Guiding Photonics produces low-loss multi-mode fibers with a range of internal diameters that are ideally suited for mid-IR and/or high-power laser beams. In addition to mid-IR, various option are available for UV through far-IR wavelengths.

Edmund Optics offers a variety of fiber optics, including jacketed and unjacketed optical grade or communications grade optical fibers. Optical grade optical fiber is ideal for general industrial lighting or short distance data transmission. It 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.
