Buying Photosensitive Fibers
Photosensitive fibers have a core sensitive to ultraviolet light, allowing the writing of fiber Bragg gratings into the core. These gratings are used for various sensing and communication applications.
Making Good Purchase Decisions
As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.
NEW: Structured Decision Process
Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

![]() Innovation in every fiber Fibercore LimitedUniversity Parkway Chilworth Science Park Southampton SO16 7QQ United Kingdom | ![]() Fibercore’s photosensitive (PS) series of fibers have a high-germania and boron co-doped core composition, enabling high-reflectivity gratings to be written without the need to hydrogen-load. The mode field diameters of the boron co-doped fibers are engineered so gratings may be spliced into standard telecommunications, or pigtailing fiber with minimal excess loss.
