CMF, Cladding Mode Suppressed Photosensitive Optical Fiber
Coherent Cladding Mode Free (CMF) fibers are designed to eliminate cladding modes, enabling tighter channel spacing for high-speed communications. With excellent cladding mode suppression and mode matching to conventional fibers, CMF fibers deliver superior performance for WDM applications.
Features and Benefits
- Excellent cladding mode suppression - Allows for tighter channel spacing
- Mode matched to conventional transmission fibers - Low splice loss (< 0.1 dB typically)
- RoHS compliant
Applications
- Couplers
- C+L band gratings
- Polyimide version
- Sensors
