Where to Buy Single-mode Fibers
Single-mode fibers guide light in a single mode for each polarization direction, ensuring a consistent output beam profile regardless of launch conditions and eliminating intermodal dispersion. These fibers are widely used in optical fiber communications, fiber lasers, and fiber interferometers for their precision and reliability.

 (a spin-off from OptoKnowledge Systems, Inc.) 19805 Hamilton Ave. Torrance CA 90502–1341 United States |  Guiding Photonics produces hollow core fibers with single-mode performance for mid-IR wavelengths. The fibers deliver a Gaussian profile and can be used for mode-filtering of non-ideal input beams. |
 34, Rue de la Croix de Fer 78100 Saint Germain-en-Laye France |  Exail (formerly iXblue) offers a wide range of specialty optical fibers, either for lasers and amplifiers or for sensing applications. Hundreds of fiber designs are available from stock on our dedicated e-store. Custom versions are also available. Most of the references are also available in radiation resistant versions, either for nuclear environments or for space missions. We also offer endlessly single-mode fibers, which do not exhibit any higher-order mode cut off. They are ideally suited for mode delivery in the visible and above: from 400 nm to 1700 nm. See us at Advanced Solid State Lasers Conference in Osaka, Japan, Oct. 20–24 (booth 128)! |
 Solutions for Innovators Blokken 84 3460 Birkerød Denmark ISO 9001:2015 |  Optical fibers are at the heart of everything we do. We embed as many functions as possible directly into the fibers to make systems based on our fibers simpler, cheaper, and more reliable. |
