Non-Circular Core Fibers

Square or rectangular fibers, which deviate from the traditional circular shape, offer significant advantages by maximizing packing density. The fibers are ideally suited for connection to square detectors or light sources, e.g. for diode lasers. Their angular shape helps to homogenize the input power over short distances.

Thanks to the low-pressure plasma deposition technology used in preform production, we also have fibers available in rectangular formats with high aspect ratios and a low corner radius. These are ideal for applications which require a combination of flexibility and large cross sections in silica fibers, e.g. a diode laser delivery system.
