PM1300G-80/170-5, PM Panda-Type Gyro Optical Fiber

Product image of PM1300G-80/170-5, PM Panda-Type Gyro Optical Fiber

Coherent 1300 nm PANDA-style PM Gyroscope fibers have extremely high birefringence and exceptionally tight dimensional specifications, critical for manufacturing high precision, high-performance gyro-coils. The intrinsically high level of radiation resistance allows operation for extended periods of time on low Earth orbits, near and deep space, and applications where exposure to man-made radiation is expected.

Features and Benefits

  • PANDA-style PM - Superior performance
  • Extremely high birefringence - Less gyroscope drift
  • Bend insensitive - Smaller diameter coils possible
  • Excellent crosstalk stability over temperature range - Minimize Shupe effects
  • HP version with best specifications available - Improved repeatability and splicability
  • RoHS compliant

Applications

  • Fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs)
  • Fiber optic voltage and current sensors
  • Laser pigtailing
  • Small form factor couplers
  • Specialty sensors
