Optical Fibres
Special Fibres for your Applications
A special optical fibre differs from a conventional transmission optical fibre either by its atypical geometry (e.g. microstructured), or by the choice of materials used in its core, cladding or coating. Transforming a special fibre into a component, for integration into a laser system for example, involves making it functional in order to protect its end or to couple it to another fibre.
All our fibres are designed, manufactured and characterised in house and tailored to cover your most specific applications. You will find below all our standard products.
All products
Photonic Bandgap Fibres – HCF
The optical signal in a hollow-core photonic bandgap fibre is guided through an air core surrounded by a PBG microstructured region with a high air fill factor (>90%). Coupled with [...]
Anti-Resonant Hollow Core Cables
IDIL and Photonics Bretagne launched a new range of anti-resonant hollow-core fibre optic cables. They combine low latency data transmission, high bandwidth connections and low loss; three features highly sought [...]
Anti-Resonant Fibres – ARF
The optical signal in a hollow core anti-resonant fibre propagates in an air core surrounded by a single ring of anti-resonant non-touching tubes. Guidance is based on an anti-resonant effect [...]
2-core, 7-core, and 12-core Fibres – MCF
These doped silica multicore fibres integrate 2, 7 or12 cores which makes them particularly suited for telecom, Bragg grating inscription (decoupled strain and temperature measurement) or for fibre amplifiers/lasers and [...]
All-Solid Endlessly Single-Mode Fibres – ASM
These fibres display an endlessly single mode behavior if a sufficient bending is applied along a few meters from the fibre input. They are therefore ideally suited for excellent mode [...]
Solid-Core Fibres PCF
Endlessly Single-Mode Fibres – ESM
These fibers display an endlessly single mode behaviour and do not exhibit a high order mode cut off. They are therefore ideally suited for excellent mode delivery in the visible [...]
Supercontinuum Fibres – SUP
These fibres offer both a low dispersion at the pump wavelength and a high numerical aperture. They are therefore particularly well suited for the efficient generation of supercontinuum with titanium-sapphire, [...]
Airclad Fibres – ACF
These pure silica multimode fibres offer both a large core diameter and a very high numerical aperture, making them particularly well suited for power delivery and light collection for spectroscopy [...]
All-Solid Endlessly Single-Mode Fibres – ASM
These fibres display an endlessly single mode behavior if a sufficient bending is applied along a few meters from the fibre input. They are therefore ideally suited for excellent mode [...]

Active Fibres
Ytterbium Doped Fibres – VLMA
The development of the new Polarisation Maintaining (PM), ytterbium-doped, Very Large Mode Area (VLMA) fibre was driven by a demand for an easy-to-integrate double-clad fibre in the growing ultrafast fibre [...]
Bismuth Doped Fibres – BDF
The development of the Bismuth doped fibre was driven by the demand of the telecom market for increasing the available data bandwidth through O-band amplifier.
[...]Multicore Fibres
2-core, 7-core, and 12-core Fibres – MCF
These doped silica multicore fibres integrate 2, 7 or12 cores which makes them particularly suited for telecom, Bragg grating inscription (decoupled strain and temperature measurement) or for fibre amplifiers/lasers and [...]
Metal Coated Fibres
Aluminum Coated Fibres – AL
Metal-coated silica fibres offer higher mechanical and chemical robustness than polymer-coated fibres for many applications in harsh environment conditions (high temperature, radiation…).
