Where to Buy Photonic Crystal Fibers

Photonic crystal fibers (PCF) are microstructured fibers with tiny air holes along the fiber axis. Their designs enable remarkable guiding properties, such as endlessly single-mode fibers and fibers with anomalous dispersion. Active fibers, like double-clad fibers with air cladding, are also available for lasers and amplifiers.

Report Additional Suppliers for These Products

If you are a supplier and want to be listed, please use the registration form.

An already registered supplier can use a customized form to report the full list of offered photonics products. That form is reachable with a link at the bottom of the supplier's profile page.

Anyone, not only suppliers themselves, can report additional suppliers. If possible, please provide a web address showing that this supplier indeed offers such products.

Trouble with Specifications

Specifications for lasers and other photonics products are essential for the process of buying such things. Nevertheless, many do not properly deal with them:

Many product specifications by suppliers lack quality – they are incomplete, not sufficiently clear, etc.
Buyers are often not aware of what they really need. For example, they forget essential requirements.

Various problems can arise:

Due to a lack of clarity, tedious communications between supplier and buyer are required.
Product specifications raise expectations which cannot be met.
Conflicts can arise over such issues.

Our Photonics Spotlight article and our encyclopedia article on laser specifications give you important hints. In case of doubt, contact RP Photonics to get competent and impartial advice.
