- 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) : - IFG (Indium ZnF3 Fluoride Glass) = fluoroindate fibers
Exhibit a high transparency in UV, visible and mid-infrared from 0.3 up to 5.5µm (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
- Transmission: design of the fiber can be adjusted depending on your operating wavelength (cut-off),
- Non linear fiber: despite similar non linear refractive index than that of silica, long lengths of fibers can be used to generate supercontinuum.
ZBLAN single mode
LVF delivers a complete line of ZFG standard single mode fibers.
Discover our range of standard ZFG single mode fibers (other designs in stock) :
∅core (µm) | ∅cladding (µm) | Numerical aperture | Cut-off wavelength (µm) | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
6.5 | 125 | 0.23 | 1.95 | ZFG SM [1.95] 6.5/125 |
8.5 | 125 | 0.23 | 2.55 | ZFG SM [2.55] 8.5/125 |
7.5 | 150 | 0.23 | 2.2 | ZFG SM [2.2] 7.5/150 |
14 | 250 | 0.125 | 2.3 | ZFG SM [2.30] 14/250 |
Note that thanks to their non linear properties, our 8.5/125 fibers are widely used for supercontinuum generation and are integrated in the commercial supercontinuum source Electro-MIR 4100, developed in collaboration with LEUKOS. Find out more about our fiber non linear properties here.
