End Cap

Product description

End caps are ideal for photonic crystal, micro-structured and hollow-core fibers (PM or non-PM). The fibers on which the end caps are spliced must have a clad diameter close to 125, 250 or 400µm. Specify and/or provide us the fiber; we realize your connector assembly: ferrule, FC, SMA…

Protect the fiber from dust and humidity
Beam properties conservation
High power handling ≤ 50W
Custom angle: 0→ 70° on end cap or 0 → 12° with connector

MOST PCF FIBERS CAN BE CONNECTORIZED

Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCF) are new class of optical fibers with hollow or solid core surrounded by an array of air-holes (photonic crystal). These air holes create a photonic bandgap effect, which influences how light propagates through the fiber. In solid-core PCFs, the core material typically has a higher refractive index compared to the surrounded microstructured cladding. In hollow-core PCF, the core is filled with air or a low-index material. They can provide characteristics that ordinary optical fiber cannot, such as: single-mode operation from the UV to IR with large mode-field diameters, exceptionally high nonlinearity, numerical aperture (NA) ranging from very low to about 0.9, and optimized dispersion properties. The fibers on which our end caps are spliced must have a clad diameter close to 125, 250 or 400µm.
