Coating of Optical Fiber End Faces
For the Best Reflection Values
D70-018
LASER COMPONENTS has been the leading manufacturer of coated fibers for many years: our in-house coating department and fiber optics production are both under the same roof. The conditions for manufacturing at the highest level could not be better; we can respond quickly and flexibly to the individual needs of our customers.
Using physical vapor deposition (PVD), various fiber types – but primarily large-core fibers – are coated with high damage thresholds. This minimizes back reflections, which is extremely important, in particular when transmitting high power levels. Depending on the type of coating, reflection values between 0.2% and 0.5% can be achieved.
Due to our in-house core competencies, we are able to coat both patchcords with standardized connector solutions and customer-specific ferrules. Bare fiber tips without a connector are also part of our repertoire.
The following is a list of examples of the most common AR coatings:
- Single AR: Coating for a single wavelength (e.g., 808 nm)
- Dual AR: Coating for two wavelengths (e.g., 808 nm and 980 nm)
- Broadband AR: Coating for a wide wavelength range (e.g., 460 nm to 700 nm)
