Production of special optical fiber

Optolink’s PANDA-type polarization maintaining (PM) fiber design uses two stress applying parts to create high birefringence, resulting in fibers with excellent polarization maintaining properties. Optolink’s PM fibers have high birefringence and exceptionally tight dimensional specifications, critical for manufacturing high precision high-performance gyro-coils.
