PANDA PM Polarization Maintaining Optical Fibers

Product information "PANDA PM Polarization Maintaining Optical Fibers"

400 to 1550 nm; Mode Field Dia. 2.3 to 10.5 µm; Cladding Dia. 80, 125 µm

Field-proven as the industry standard, Corning’s PANDA PM series of polarization maintaining (PM) optical fibers are designed with the best polarization maintaining properties and are the industry standard in the world today. The fibers offer low attenuation and excellent birefringence for high-performance applications.

The PANDA PM fiber design uses two stress applying parts to create an extremely high birefringence, resulting in fiber with excellent polarization maintaining properties. This design was invented and patented by Corning. Available in a wide range of standard operating wavelengths from 400 up to 1550 nm and with a variety of coating designs, PANDA PM specialty fibers are optimal for high-performance polarization maintaining fiber applications. This field-proven fiber supports high growth applications and performs well over a wide temperature range.


Corning offers the broadest portfolio of PANDA PM fibers with a wide range of design options. In addition to regular PANDA PM fibers, Corning’s PANDA PM series of polarization maintaining (PM) optical fibers include:

  • Bend-insensitive products (PANDA PM Bend Insensitive: PMBI, PMSR)
  • Variants with high numerical aperture (PANDA PM High NA: PM13-HNA, PM85-HNA)
  • Fibers with thermally-diffused expanded core (HA15-PS-U25D(TEC))
  • Variants with reduced cladding (RC PANDA PM: RC PM, RC13-15-PX-U17EBL-M4)
  • Models optimized for RGB wavelength band (PANDA RGB PM: PM-RGB-U25D)
  • Special coatings like flame retardant

Adhesives for Optical Waveguides
Refractive Index 1.458-1.567; Viscosity 145-2,000 mPas; Optical Transmittance (@1 mm, 1.3 µm) 82%-94%; Bond Strength 99->247 kgf/cm²; UV Curing Conditions 10, 30 mW/cm², 5, 10 min You are looking for PLC and fiber array adhesion with high reliability? Try NTT-AT’s series of adhesives for optical waveguides! Within this series you find acrylate-based adhesives (AT6001, AT8224)with excellent durability that have cleared a large number of reliability tests. Epoxy adhesives are also part of this series, with a refractive index that can be accurately controlled within a range of 1.456 to 1.567 (±0.005, Na-D) – or with a fixed refractive index that is the same as quartz to deliver low reflectance (GA700L, GA700H). UV curing of the adhesives for optical waveguides allows for adhesion in a short time frame and makes alignment easy. The adhesives withstand a solder reflow process for Si Photonics (+260 °C). In order to achieve high reliability, a product must clear the tests conducted by the users themselves. If you have had even just a bit of dissatisfaction in reliability test results in the past, please put NTT-AT’s adhesives for optical waveguides to the test. In case you need any consulting regarding issues related to adhesion, please contact the AMS Technologies optical adhesives experts to discuss the detailed challenges of your application.
