StockerYale Inc., an independent designer and manufacturer of specialty optical fiber, presented its new line of bend insensitive fiber, designed for improved bend performance in reduced radius applications.
The company's bend insensitive fiber employs a moderately higher numerical aperture (NA) than standard single-mode telecom fibers. The moderate NA delivers lower bend loss at 1310 and 1550 nm without significantly affecting splicing performance and is available in a 125 µm- or 80 µm-clad diameter.
StockerYale's bend insensitive fiber is ideal for tight bend radius conditions, multiple fiber wraps on a mandrel, fused fiber couplers, and sensors. The company's team of scientists and engineers can also custom design a bend insensitive fiber that meets a customer's exact specifications.
