Fiber Optical Solution’s PANDA-type polarization maintaining (PM) fiber design uses two stress applying parts to create high birefringence, resulting in fibers with excellent polarization maintaining properties. Fiber Optical Solution’s PM fibers have high birefringence and exceptionally tight dimensional specifications, critical for manufacturing high precision high-performance gyro-coils.

Processes:

• MCVD Preforms manufacturing system.
• Two fiber draw towers.
• Effluent gas scrubber (for two MCVD systems).
• Gas control and mixing system (SiCl4, РОСl3, GeCl4, ВВr3).
• Ultrasonic cleaner for coating extrusion system
• Fiber preform lathes.
• Gas drier and purifier.
• System for preform etching.
• Reels for fibers.
• Measurement equipment.
• System for testing fiber waveguide at rewind.

Fiber Optical Solution’s PANDA-type polarization maintaining (PM) fiber design uses two stress applying parts to create high birefringence, resulting in fibers with excellent polarization maintaining properties. Fiber Optical Solution’s PM fibers have high birefringence and exceptionally tight dimensional specifications, critical for manufacturing high precision high-performance gyro-coils. The Panda-type configuration is preferred over bow-tie or elliptical clad designs because of its advantages in process scalability and product uniformity. These fibers are available for operation at 850, 1300 and 1550 nm wavelengths.
