Buying Specialty Fibers

AMS Techno­logies carries a broad portfolio of specialty optical fibers, ranging from high-performance metalized fibers, coated with aluminium or gold to work reliably even at extreme temperatures and withstand harsh environmental conditions, to a wide range of doped optical fibers whose fiber cores are doped with laser-active ions, mostly of rare-earth materials, all the way to highly sophisticated photonic crystal fibers (PCF), used to create a supercontinuum based on quantum optical effects. Our suppliers have all the capabilities to design and fabricate a broad variety of specialty optical fiber structures according to customer orders – contact us to discuss your specialty fiber solution, custom made to cover your project’s requirements.

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.

Innovation in every fiber

Leader in fluoride glass and optical fiber technology

See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 2066)!

LVF offers the largest range of fluoride fibers in the world, including passive fibers and active fibers for applications ranging from the visible to the mid-infrared.

• ZrF₄ (fluorozirconate) fibers transmit light from 0.3 µm up to 4.5 µm.
• InF₃ (fluoroindate) fibers transmit light from 0.3 µm up to 5.5 µm.
• GeO₂ (germanate) fibers are qualified for high power handling around 2.7–3.0 µm (Er:YAG and Er:YSSG medical lasers).

LVF fluoride fibers are the most transparent fibers on the market in the mid-infrared 2–5 µm band.
