What is Photonic Crystal Fiber?
Photonic crystal fiber is a class of specialty optical fiber characterized by a microstructured cross-section featuring an array of air holes running along the entire length of the fiber. These precisely arranged air-hole lattices surround a solid or hollow core, guiding light through modified total internal reflection or photonic bandgap effects. PCF achieves unique optical properties including supercontinuum generation, zero-dispersion wavelength tunability, and high nonlinearity coefficients exceeding 70 W⁻¹km⁻¹, making it indispensable in ultrafast laser systems, sensing platforms, and biomedical imaging devices.
Photonic Crystal Fiber Manufacturing Process
Our photonic crystal fiber manufacturing process begins with the stacking of high-purity fused silica capillaries and rods into a precisely designed preform assembly, achieving air-fill fractions between 10% and 90% depending on specification. The stacked preform undergoes consolidation before being drawn in a computer-controlled fiber drawing tower at temperatures exceeding 1,900°C. Real-time diameter monitoring systems maintain outer diameter tolerances within ±0.5 µm throughout the draw process. A UV-curable acrylate coating is applied inline to protect the fiber's mechanical integrity, yielding a final coated diameter of 245 µm ± 5 µm.
Photonic Crystal Fiber Technical Specifications
Our standard photonic crystal fiber product range covers core diameters from 2 µm to 35 µm, with pitch values (Λ) spanning 1.5 µm to 15 µm and air-hole-to-pitch ratios (d/Λ) configurable from 0.2 to 0.9. Attenuation at 1,064 nm measures as low as 2.0 dB/km for large-mode-area variants. Nonlinear coefficient (γ) values range from 2 W⁻¹km⁻¹ to 95 W⁻¹km⁻¹ depending on core geometry. Operating wavelength windows extend from 400 nm to 2,400 nm, with zero-dispersion wavelengths customizable across the 700 nm to 1,550 nm range. All fibers comply with IEC 60793 measurement standards and are supplied with full characterization data sheets.
