NONLINEAR PHOTONIC CRYSTAL FIBERS

The possibility of very small core sizes (diameters down to 1 µm) combined with a very large core/cladding index contrast (up to 0.4) enables us to create fibers with extremely small effective areas and high nonlinear coefficients. Furthermore, the dispersion profiles are designed to facilitate different nonlinear effects for special applications. This makes our fibers ideal for applications like four-wave mixing, Raman amplification, optical parametric amplification and supercontinuum generation for metrology, optical coherence tomography (OCT) or spectroscopy. We offer single-mode supercontinuum fibers optimized for all major pumping laser wavelengths. The majority of our nonlinear fibers are available with hermetically sealed ends and FC/PC connectors or spliced to standard single-mode fiber or large-mode area PCF. In addition, our most popular PM supercontinuum fiber for 800-nm-range pumping is available as the FEMTOWHITE 800 device, where the fiber is mounted in a metal housing with sealed cleanable end-facets.
