MMF/QMMF/QMMJ Multi Mode Fibers

Product information "MMF/QMMF/QMMJ Multi Mode Fibers"

180-2400 nm; Core Diameter 10-1000 µm; Cladding Diameter 125-1035 µm; Attenuation: ≤0.7-<1000 dB/km; Numerical Aperture 0.10-0.37

OZ Optics offers a wide range of optical fibers suitable for many applications. MMF/QMMF/QMMJ multi mode (MM) fibers come in a variety of fiber sizes, operating wavelengths, and fiber types, and can be assembled into patchcords or more complex fiber optic components to suit your needs. OZ Optics categorizes fibers based on fiber type, operating wavelengths, core/cladding size, jacket diameter, and numerical aperture (NA).

OZ Optics’ MMF/QMMF/QMMJ multi mode fibers have large fiber core sizes and large numerical apertures, making them well suited for collecting light from large or diffuse sources such as LEDs or white light lamps. They are also well suited for high-power applications as the power is transmitted through a large cross section compared to single mode (SM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fibers. The drawback with multi mode fibers is that they do not maintain the high-quality spatial properties of lasers. Instead, the light is dispersed among multi mode modes within the fiber, generating a speckle pattern when the light emerges from the other end of the fiber.

Typically, MMF/QMMF/QMMJ multi mode fibers are suitable either for near infrared and visible wavelengths (IRVIS fibers) or for near ultraviolet and visible wavelengths (UVVIS fibers). UVVIS multi mode fibers typically are built with added amounts of hydroxyl (OH) ions added to enhance ultraviolet transmission at the expense of infrared transmission.

Graded-index multi mode fibers (MMF) have a fiber core with a refractive index that varies from the center to the edge. They are mainly used for telecommunications applications and come in three standard core/cladding sizes: 50/125, 62.5/125, and 100/140.

Step-index silica core (QMMF, QMMJ) fibers have a fiber core with a constant index of refraction. Typically, the fiber core is fused silica, doped with an element like germanium, while the fiber cladding is typically undoped fused silica for fibers with numerical apertures up to 0.22, and typically a hard polymer for higher numerical apertures. These fibers are available with core sizes ranging from 10 µm to 1500 µm, and NAs ranging from 0.12 to 0.5.

FOBS-12N SM Splitters
FOBS-12N SM Splitters

Single Mode Splitters, Miniature Size; 980 to 1550 nm; Splitting Ratio 50/50 to 98/2; Polarization Dependent Loss 0.1 dB; Directivity >50 dB OZ Optics’ FOBS-12N series of miniature polarizing (single mode) fiber optic beam splitters are used to split the light traveling through a fiber into two fibers, or to split or combine orthogonally polarized light into separate fibers. These splitters feature a rugged miniature housing to fit into compact spaces in equipment and systems. Light from a fiber is first collimated, then sent through a beam-splitting optic to divide it into two beams by either a fixed ratio or into two orthogonal polarizations. The resultant output beams are then coupled back into the output fibers. This flexible design allows splitters with different fiber types on the input and output ports. For example, light from a single mode fiber could be split into its two orthogonal states and then launched into two polarization maintaining fibers. Standard products for 1550 nm applications are readily available, while custom items can be made with rapid turnaround at low cost. Products for other wavelengths, such as 980 nm, 1300 nm, or 1480 nm are offered. Contact AMS Technologies for details and a quotation. The FOBS-N12 series of polarizing beam splitters split incoming light into two orthogonal states. They can also be used to combine the light from two fibers into a single output fiber. When used as a beam combiner, each input signal will transmit along a different output polarization axis. By default, the output fibers on a polarizing splitter are aligned so that the output polarization from each fiber is in line with the stress rods of the fibers. If the input fiber is a polarization maintaining (PM) fiber, the input fiber is aligned such that light polarized parallel to the fiber’s stress rods is transmitted to port 1 of the splitter, while light polarized perpendicular to the stress rods is transmitted to port 2 of the splitter. Key Features: Rugged Compact Design Broad Wavelength Range Low Insertion, Return & Polarization Dependent Losses High Extinction Ratio- Low Wavelength Dependent Loss (WDL) Applications: EDFA Amplifiers; Raman Amplifier Combiners; Polarization Mode Dispersion Compensation; Polarization Extinction Ratio Measurements; Fiber Optic Sensors; Coherent Communication Systems; OCT Systems
