Polarization-Maintaining Nonlinear Photonic Crystal Fiber, Zero Dispersion Wavelength 1040nm

This single-mode polarization-maintaining nonlinear photonic crystal fiber combines a high nonlinear coefficient with zero dispersion around 1040 nm to allow efficient nonlinear interactions using 1060 nm range lasers.

The fiber is designed to convert passively Q-switched Nd3+- microchip lasers into a compact, low-cost, ultra-bright supercontinuum source with polarized output.

Due to the optimized dispersion profile, a length of only 20 m of these fibers is sufficient to achieve near-unity conversion efficiency in combination with a laser that delivers pulses of ~1 ns, 5-10 kHz repetition rate and a few tens of milliwatts of average power at 1064 nm wavelength.

The fiber is available spliced to standard single mode fiber or  endlessly single mode fiber, and is also available with hermetically sealed ends and FC/PC connectors.
