Where to Buy Photonic Crystal Fibers

Explore the distinctive hollow-core photonic crystal fiber technology, guiding light within a hollow channel and enveloped by a microstructured cladding. A unique approach that redefines precision and efficiency in the field of photonics.

As a trailblazing industrial leader, GLO takes the forefront in photonics with a diverse array of hollow-core photonic crystal fiber solutions, tailored to meet the unique needs of our valued partners. Our commitment lies in delivering bespoke HCPCF innovations, setting new standards in the industry.

Endlessly single-mode, optional polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fibers series PCF with Gaussian intensity profile and low-stress fiber connectors with end caps.

Our 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 guiding light in air. Our single-mode LMA fibers are also available as patch cords with standard termination in our aeroGUIDE product range.

Exail (formerly iXblue) offers a wide range of photonic crystal fibers:

• air clad fibers: pure silica multimode fibers with a large core diameter and ultra-high numerical aperture, particularly suited for power delivery and light collection for spectroscopy application from the visible range to the near-infrared
• endlessly single-mode fibers, no exhibiting a high order mode cut off, ideally suited for mode delivery in the visible region and above: from 400 nm to 1700 nm
• hollow core photonic bandgap fibers: very low nonlinearity, low bend sensitivity excellent temperature immunity for high performance fiber sensing and metrology applications
• anti-resonant hollow-core fibers: extremely low optical nonlinearity
• supercontinuum photonic crystal fibers: low chromatic dispersion at the pump wavelength and high numerical aperture, therefore particularly suited for the efficient generation of supercontinuum with Ti:sapphire and YAG lasers
