The YOEC Panda polarization-maintaining fiber series can be used in fiber-optic gyroscopes and other polarization-related devices. This optical fiber product has excellent attenuation characteristics, birefringence, temperature stability, batch and geometric consistency, long-term reliability and anti-radiation performance, and can meet a variety of application requirements.

Diamond the fiber meeting

DIAMOND provides high quality solutions for polarization maintaining (PM) and polarizing (PZ) fiber optic interfaces to optimally control the polarization state of the signal. Low Insertion Losses (IL) combined with high Polarization Extinction Ratios (PER) and higher Return Losses (RL) are achieved over very broad spectral ranges through a combination of precise optical and mechanical design.

Fibercore’s industry leading polarization-maintaining fiber (PM fiber), is designed for high performance interferometric and plarimetric sensors, integrated optics and communications. Fibercore’s family of PM fiber is called HiBi for its high birefringence and is manufactured with the bow-tie configuration where the Stress Applying Parts (SAPs) act as opposing wedges generating optimum stress distribution within the fibers, giving the very best in performance.

Polarisation-maintaining fibers (PM fibers) are used in specific applications where the polarisation effect (maintaining signal polarisation state) plays a major role and directly influences the functionality of the whole system. PM fibres are typically used in interferometers, sensing solutions (gyroscopes and accelerometers) and modulators in combination with laser sources considered for transmitters designed for on-board optics solutions.
