IR Polished Al2O3 Circular Sapphire Window 0.17-5.5μm 25.4x1.0m

Sapphire (Al2O3) is highly regarded for its extreme toughness and strength, making it an ideal material for optical windows across the UV, VIS, and NIR spectral ranges. Sapphire can be grown using different methods. The Verneuil and Czochralski processes are commonly used for standard-grade sapphire materials. Higher-quality sapphire, used for electronic substrates, is typically grown by the Kyropulos method, offering exceptionally high purity and excellent UV transmission properties. In the IR spectrum, sapphire's use is generally limited to around 5μm, with few issues encountered at optical grades. In the UV range, care must be taken when observing its transmission from 140nm to 240nm, as it is highly sensitive to impurities and voids. Large sapphire crystals can be made by color-band growth. Sapphire exhibits slight birefringence, and IR windows are typically cut randomly from the crystal. For specific birefringence applications, an orientation can be selected, where the optical axis is at a 90-degree angle to the surface, referred to as "zero-degree" material. Synthetic optical sapphire is colorless. *Note: Actual thermal expansion values may vary across manufacturers.

Idealphotonics Thulium-doped Benchtop Single-Frequency Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Amplifier is a power amplifier specially designed for ultra-narrow linewidth, single-frequency signal light (such as fiber lasers made based on DFB and DBR principles). This amplifier can amplify low-power optical signals of the kHz level to an output power of up to 50W, and can well maintain the spectral characteristics of the input signal light. Our amplifier uses a high-power, high-performance multi-mode pump source, double-clad fiber amplification technology, an integrated design of a fully polarization-maintaining structure, and continuously adjustable output power. The benchtop fiber amplifier is a complete Turn-Key system, which is internally controlled by a microprocessor. The front panel is equipped with a laser start switch and a power status LCD display, as well as an output power adjustment knob. Benchtop polarization-maintaining fiber amplifier (TDFA) can be widely used in scientific research, coherent synthesis, coherent detection sensor systems, etc.

2000nm Polarization Maintaining Fiber Connector/Patch Cable

These polarization-maintaining fiber patch cords offered by Idealphotonics feature high-quality, narrow-pin ceramic FC/APC connectors on both ends. Produced in our facilities, each patch cord is individually tested at the test wavelengths listed on the Specs tab to ensure extinction ratio and low back reflection (return loss) when connecting fiber to fiber. These patch cords are available in stock with a high-quality polish that guarantees a typical return loss of over 60 dB. The test data table provides extinction ratio and insertion loss tests for each patch cord. Each patch cord comes with two protective caps covering the ends to prevent dust or other contaminants from falling into the ferrule end face. We also sell CAPF plastic fiber caps and CAPFM metal threaded fiber caps to protect FC/PC terminations separately. If you don't find the product you need in our stock patch cords, We also offers custom patch cords that can be shipped the same day.

C-band high nonlinear optical fiber dispersion 0.0±1ps/(nm.km)

Nonlinear effects in optical fibers, such as stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), and the optical Kerr effect, have many applications in the fields of communications and optical signal processing. In the Kerr effect, the refractive index of the light-guiding medium changes with the optical power, which will lead to a series of secondary effects, such as self-phase modulation (SPM), cross-phase modulation (XPM), four-wave mixing (FWM), and non-steady-state modulation. Applications that utilize the Kerr effect include optical parametric amplification, frequency conversion, phase coupling, pulse compression and generation, and optical soliton transmission. The design of highly nonlinear optical fibers needs to consider the following aspects: first, the optical fiber must have high nonlinearity to obtain effective nonlinear interactions; second, the optical fiber must have low loss to increase the effective action length . Third, for various applications, the optical fiber must have matching dispersion characteristics. Finally, the nonlinear optical fiber must have low polarization mode dispersion (PMD). For silica-based highly nonlinear optical fibers, the design of the refractive index profile plays an important role in meeting the above requirements. In the design of high nonlinear optical fiber, a small core effective area , a low dispersion slope and a cutoff wavelength much smaller than the working wavelength must be achieved at the same time. High nonlinear optical fiber not only has high nonlinearity, but also has a very low dispersion slope. A flexible W-shaped profile design is adopted to introduce a low refractive index inner cladding around the step refractive index core.

200/220um Multimode Fiber Connector

Large-core fiber optic connectors offer excellent performance. Unlike the multimode fibers (50/125, 62.5/125) widely used in fiber optic communication systems, large-core fibers are typically used for transmitting higher laser power and operating in specific wavelength bands. Furthermore, due to their large core diameter and high numerical aperture, the uniformity and stability of light splitting in large-core fibers are subject to interference from various factors (such as laser mode and laser injection method). Building on years of foundational experience in high-energy laser transmission experiments and research into the reliability of military-grade components, we can now provide fiber optic connector products with core diameters ranging from 125um to 1500um, as well as large-core fiber products operating across the full wavelength spectrum. These products possess extremely high resistance to high-power laser damage and offer excellent environmental reliability.
