Thorlabs offers a range of photosensitive single mode fibers designed to provide high photosensitivity for UV radiation. These fibers offer low splice loss to transmission fiber and are suitable for a range of applications. Please see the table below for specifications regarding each product. We recommend T06S13 for use as a stripper tool when removing the buffer from these optical fibers in preparation for connectorization.

These general purpose photosensitive fibers are highly sensitive to UV radiation and are modematched to SMF-28e. These fibers are designed to reduce FBG writing times associated with industry standard telecommunication fiber and can be easily spliced to industry standard fiber as well.

The PS1060 photosensitive fiber is designed to provide high photosensitivity to UV radiation. This fiber is specifically designed for use in writing fiber Bragg gratings for pump stabilizers or diode output wavelengths in the 980 to 1060nm range. PS1060 may also be used in coupler applications.

The low-loss photosensitive fiber provides much higher photosensitivity than standard transmission fibers to UV radiation. This fiber is specifically designed to be splice compatible with SMF-28e and may be used in WDM applications. The reduced attenuation allows the fiber to be used in longer lengths and reduces the insertion loss in manufactured fiber optic components.
We recommend T06S13 for use as a stripper tool when removing the buffer from these optical fibers in preparation for connectorization.
The Cladding Mode Offset Fiber is designed specifically with improved cladding mode offset. The cladding mode offset operation enhances the fiber's performance when writing two or more gratings adjacent to each other (9 nm offset typical). Cladding Mode Offset fibers exhibit low splice loss to the industry standard telecommunications fiber.
We recommend T06S13 for use as a stripper tool when removing the buffer from these optical fibers in preparation for connectorization.
Designed for use in 980 nm pump lasers diodes, couplers and multiplexers, PS-PM980 offers enhanced photosensitivity that substantially reduces writing times as well as excellent polarization maintaining attributes.
