PANDA PM Specialty 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. 
 
Available in a wide range of standard operating wavelengths up to 1550 nm, and with a variety of coating designs, 
PANDA PM Specialty Fibers are optimal for high performance polarization retaining fiber applications. 
This field-proven fiber supports high growth applications, and performs well over a wide temperature range.
PANDA and Bow-Tie Single Mode Polarization-Maintaining (PM) fiber. These two fibers are named based on the stress rods used.Stress rods run parallel to the fiber's core and apply stress that creates birefringence in the fiber's core, allowing polarization-maintaining operation. PANDA stress rods are cylindrical, while bow-tie uses trapezoidal prism stress rods, as shown in the images above. For the average user, these two fiber types are interchangeable. PANDA fibers have historically been used in telecom applications, as it is easier to maintain uniformity in their cylindrical stress rods over very long lengths when manufacturing.We also offer specialized PM fibers. Our photosensitive fiber can be exposed to UV light to create a Fiber Bragg Grating, our dispersion-compensating fiber corrects for chromatic dispersion, and our bend- and temperature-insensitive PM fiber is ideal for use in fiber optic gyroscopes (FOG).PANDA PM Fibers Features:
