Aluminium Coated, Single Mode, Multi Mode; 190 to 2400 nm; Core Diameter 50 to 400 µm; Mode Field Diameter 4.3, 9.0 µm; Cladding Diameter 125 to 440 µm; Numerical Aperture 0.12 to 0.275 Fiberguide’s AFS-A/SFS-A/AGI-A/ASI-A/UVS-H2A series of aluminium coated fibers are designed for a wide temperature range (-269 to +400 °C) and superior strength (>100 kpsi). This allows for long life at extended stress levels in applications that require tight bends. Also, the strong chemical bond between the silica cladding and the aluminum enables direct termination without pistoning. This bond also makes aluminium coating the ideal choice to preserve deep UV performance in Fiberguide’s Solarguide UVS-H2A series of solarization resistant UV multi mode fiber. Within this series of aluminium coated high temperature fibers, users find step index (AFS/SFS, UVS-H2) and graded index (AGI) multi mode fibers as well as anhydrous silica (ASI) single mode fibers. As an option, some types of aluminium coated high temperature fibers can be provided with a broad selection of shaped tips – standard configurations as well as custom designed shapes. Shaped tip fibers provide optimum control over beam delivery and/or increased efficiency of light collection. Some of the fibers can also be end capped to achieve higher coupled power into a fiber core by reducing the power density at the air / silica interface, commonly the point of laser damage. End cap diameters and lengths are offered for select numerical apertures and fiber cores size, but can be easily customized for a variety of fiber types and specialized applications. Additionally, all fiber types can be equipped on demand with Fiberguide’s patented RARe Motheye anti-reflective technology that enhances fiber transmission performance and significantly increases the damage threshold for your application over a large wavelength range.

Gold Coated, Other Materials on Request; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; Metalization Thickness 1.65 to 5.2 µm; Maximum Plating Length 50 mm; Operating Temperature -40 to +85 °C OZ Optics’ ME series of metalized fibers are specifically designed for optoelectronic packaging. The fiber is first coated with a layer of nickel to provide superior adhesion and a stable soldering base. The fiber is then plated with an overcoat layer of gold to provide resistance to oxidization. The result is a strong, uniform coating capable of handling the rigors of soldering and hermetic sealing. OZ Optics metalized fibers are well suited for use in assemblies that must conform to Telcordia requirements. If required, OZ Optics metalized fibers can be manufactured with masked ends. This process provides a clean, non-metalized fiber end suitable for termination with ceramic ferrules, fusion splicing or direct connection to a device and allows for an easy transformation of devices into hermetically sealed packages. Also available are custom mid-span metalization of optical fibers and metalized ribbon fibers. The mid-span configuration provides a solution for hermetically sealing in-fiber devices such as fiber Bragg gratings, optical isolators or optical filters, as well as allowing larger package devices that exceed the length restrictions of standard metalized fibers. Metalization of ribbon fibers allows for easy hermetic sealing of multiple fibers into hermetic packages that require many fibers or are being used with V-Groove assemblies. OZ Optics metalized fibers are available with Single Mode (SM), Multi Mode (MM) or Polarization Maintaining (PM) fibers. In general, OZ Optics uses polarization maintaining fibers based on the PANDA fiber structure when building polarization maintaining components and patch cords. However, OZ Optics can construct devices using other PM fiber structures. OZ Optics also carries some alternative fiber types in stock, please contact AMS Technologies for availability. If necessary, OZ Optics is willing to use customer supplied fibers to build devices.
