CMF-P, Cladding Mode Suppressed Photosensitive Optical Fiber
Coherent Cladding Mode Free (CMF-P) fiber is optimized for distributed WDM sensing networks operating in high-temperature and harsh environments. This fiber eliminates cladding modes, providing tighter channel spacing and 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
- High-temperature coating - Enables distributed WDM sensing in harsh environments
- RoHS compliant
Applications
- Couplers
- C+L band gratings
- Polyimide version
- Sensors
