| Property | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Product Name | Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) | Also known as microstructured optical fiber or holey fiber |
| Material Grade | Fused Silica (SiO₂) / Fluoride Glass / Chalcogenide | Equivalent to Corning SMF-28 grade; high-purity optical-grade silica |
| Standard Compliance | IEC 60793-2, ITU-T G.652, ASTM F2181 | Compliant with international optical fiber standards for geometry and performance |
| Chemical Composition | SiO₂ ≥99.99%, GeO₂ dopant (optional), F dopant (optional) | Ultra-low OH content (<1 ppm) for low-loss transmission; dopant-free core available |
| Tensile Strength | ≥100 kpsi (690 MPa) | Per IEC 60793-1-31 proof test; standard coating ensures mechanical reliability |
| Yield Strength | N/A (brittle material) | Fiber fracture stress ≥3.5 GPa for bare silica; governed by flaw distribution |
| Elongation | Bend Radius ≥5 mm (single-mode PCF) | Low bend loss design; endlessly single-mode variants tolerate tight bends |

| Fiber Length | 1 m – 1000 m per spool | Custom cut lengths available; continuous draw lengths up to 5 km |
| Attenuation | <0.2 dB/km @ 1550 nm (solid core); <1 dB/km @ 1064 nm | Hollow-core PCF: <3.5 dB/km; nonlinear PCF optimized for supercontinuum generation |
| Surface Finish | Acrylate / Polyimide / Bare (uncoated) | Standard 245 µm acrylate coating; polyimide for high-temp up to 300°C |
| Application | Supercontinuum generation, fiber lasers, sensing, telecom, medical imaging | Suitable for nonlinear optics, dispersion management, gas sensing, and quantum optics |
| Certification | ISO 9001:2015, RoHS Compliant, CE Marked | Third-party tested; REACH compliant; traceable batch documentation provided |
| Packaging | Plastic spool with foam-lined box; nitrogen-purged option for bare fiber | Anti-static packaging; end-caps sealed; custom labeling available |
| MOQ | 1 meter (standard types); 50 meters (custom design) | OEM/ODM orders accepted; volume pricing available for ≥100 m orders |
Initial splice loss issue — resolved with supplier support
Received 80 meters of PCF with 12 µm core and d/Λ = 0.55 for a pulsed fiber laser build. Initial splice loss measurements exceeded our target by roughly 0.8 dB, which was concerning. Contacted technical support and they identified a parameter mismatch in our fusion splicer settings and provided corrected arc parameters within 24 hours. After adjustment, splice loss came within spec. Fiber itself met IEC 60793 attenuation and diameter tolerances. Issue was on our end but faster onboarding documentation would have prevented it. Supplier was responsive and knowledgeable.
