Boron Doped Photosensitive Fiber
Intrinsically Photosensitive for Grating Fabrication
- Rapid formation of high reflectivity FBGs – Without hydrogenation
- For use ‘straight from the shelf’
- Strong and consistent photosensitivity
- Indefinite delivery of strong and consistent photosensitivity
- Compatible with standard telecommunications and pigtailing fiber
- Minimal excess loss during splicing
Typical Applications:
- FBGs
- Fiber lasers
- Temperature sensors
- Strain sensors
- Biomedical sensors
