- ZFG (Zirconium ZrF4 Fluoride Glass) = fluorozirconate fibers
Exhibit a high transparency in UV, visible and mid-infrared from 0.3 up to 4.5µm (see graph below):
- ZFG: Typ < 20dB/km at 2.5 µm
- IFG: Typ < 20dB/km at 3.6 µm
- GeG: Typ < 150 dB/km at 2.78 μm < 400 dB/km at 2.94 μm
- ZFG: 0.32-4.3µm
- IFG: 0.335-5.3µm
- GeG: 2.78 and 2.94µm
In order to maintain linear polarization during proropation throught the fiber, LVF has developed special PM fibers. The linear polarization during propagation is obtained thanks to two air-gaps (see fiber section image).
LVF delivers a standard ZFG polarization maintaining fiber.
∅core (µm) | ∅cladding (µm) | Numerical aperture | Cut-off wavelength (µm) | Beat length @2.8 µm (mm) | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
6.5 | 125 | 0.23 | 1.95 | ≈ 20 | ZFG PM [1.95] 6.5/125 |
This polarization maintaining fiber was developped for the GRAVITY project and is now integrated system including a delay line and a polarization rotator.
