Buying Single-polarization Fibers

Top-level product category: fiber optics

More general product categories: specialty fibers, fibers

Related product categories: polarization-maintaining fibers, fiber optics

Single-polarization fibers transmit light with a specific linear polarization state, often realized as photonic crystal fibers. These fibers are used in applications requiring stable polarization, such as sensors and polarization-sensitive measurements.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

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.

(Various further improvements of this feature will come soon.)

1. Learn about the technology

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

With its comprehensive resources, RP Photonics helps you to well prepare purchase decisions:

2. Define your requirements

It is important to fully understand and define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that for your preparation and for inquiries to suppliers, you draw up a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying single-polarization fibers. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you check this, the criteria will be inserted into the inquiry mail if below you use a button titled "Get quotation".

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

3. Find suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for single-polarization fibers. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research.
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

single-polarization fibers

Fibercore Zing™ speciality optical fiber is an all-fiber polarizer, guiding only a single-polarization state, providing practical real world polarizing performance. Straight or coiled, Zing™ delivers the high Polarization Extinction Ratio (PER) and broad, stable operating window that applications demand.

Exail (formerly iXblue) polarizing fiber (PZ) is designed so that only one state of polarization is guided along the fiber; any other state of polarization will be lost rapidly, thus yielding a high built-in polarization extinction ratio. This particular mechanism is obtained through a specific waveguide design and a careful optimization of the glass composition resulting in both high birefringence and leakage behavior.

PZ fibers are available for different wavelengths with a broad polarizing window (typically larger than 100 nm), low attenuation and high extinction ratio (≥30 dB), that can be tuned by coiling the proper fiber length at the appropriate coil diameter.

Exail also offers ready-to-use polarizing solutions based on PZ fibers.
