Polarization Maintaining Fibers
Use single-mode and large-mode area polarization maintaining fibers in demanding network applications. These fibers are also ideal for use in lasers, amplifiers, FOGs, and sensing systems.
Coherent NuPANDA fibers offer the broadest operating wavelength range, highest birefringence and highest mode field uniformity.
Key Product Benefits
Fibers are available for use from 350 nm to 2000 nm and feature custom and precision beat lengths, among other options. Leveraging high volume manufacturing, our fibers offer highly uniform optical and mechanical properties at low cost.

Low intrinsic attenuation maximizes system efficiency Highest mode field uniformity of all PM fiber types Custom and precision beat length selection readily available Radiation resistant in the range of 0.1dB/km-kRad due to the lack of stress inducing dopants within the evanescent field |
Intrinsically high fatigue failure tolerance The absence of low strength breaks makes it ideal for coiling applications Glass surfaces at or near the core have homogenous stresses making polishing for splicing straightforward Stress rods make convenient orientation markers for quick, precision radial orientation in splicing machines |
Bend insensitive options Many core/clad geometries Active dopants Passive dopants Single and double cladding High temperature coatings and others Panda type Radiation resistant |
