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.

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 [...]
