PFP HP Cladding Mode Suppressed Photosensitive Single-Mode Fiber

Product Overview

PFP CMS-HP fiber is a photosensitive single-mode fiber designed for the production of complex Bragg grating structures, such as those with high channel count, wherein cladding mode suppression is a fundamental requirement. This fiber sets a new standard for photosensitive telecom fibers, with its excellent cladding mode suppression, high intrinsic photosensitivity, low birefringence, and low polarization mode dispersion (PMD). It allows easy, uniform grating writing; tighter channel spacing; and low splice loss to standard transmission fibers.

Applications
Dispersion compensators DWDM gain flattening filters

Features & Benefits
Excellent cladding mode suppression-Allows for tighter channel spacing Mode matched to conventional transmission fibers-Low splice loss Designed to achieve low PMD-Enables the development of low PDL devices
