Buying Photonic Bandgap Fibers
Some optical fibers guide light based on a photonic bandgap created by a pattern of air holes. This principle allows for hollow-core fibers, where most light propagates through air, offering unique guidance properties.

 34, Rue de la Croix de Fer 78100 Saint Germain-en-Laye France See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 5039)! |  Optical signals in a hollow core photonic bandgap fiber are guided in an air core surrounded by a PBG microstructured region. In addition to the low bend sensitivity, this fiber design exhibits significantly reduced material nonlinearities since more than 95% of optical power is propagating in air. In addition, air/undoped silica provides excellent temperature immunity, which is critical for high performance fiber sensing and metrology applications. |
