In Step Index (SI) fibres, core and cladding feature fixed refractive indices with the index of the core always higher. This results in a step index profile.
Used for maintaining the polarisation of light within a fibre optic cable.
These fibres are grown from a single crystal; therefore, they retain their material properties while remaining flexible.
Cost-effective polymer optical fibres available as bare fibres or preassembled cables.
Hollow quartz glass capillaries with a mirrored inside for the transmission of IR wavelengths are ideal for use in CO2 and Er:YAG lasers.
