Buying Single-polarization Fibers
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.)

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. |
