Specialty Fibers

FiberLabs' standard, regularly produced non-doped ZBLAN fluoride bare fibers, in single-mode and multimode forms. ZBLAN transmits into the mid-infrared where silica does not.

FiberLabs' standard, mass-produced rare-earth-doped ZBLAN fluoride bare fibers. The dopants give emission wavelengths in the visible, near-infrared and mid-infrared that silica hosts cannot reach.

FiberLabs' current stock list of ZBLAN fluoride bare fibers, doped and undoped, updated against actual inventory. It covers geometries outside the standard mass-production lineup.

A custom draw service for ZBLAN fluoride fiber, for requirements the standard non-doped, standard rare-earth-doped and inventory lineups do not cover.

A cabling service for ZBLAN fluoride fiber. Any bare fiber from the FiberLabs lineup can be cabled, with protective tubing and fiber bundle options.

ZBLAN glass blocks and fiber preforms supplied for academic research. This is a made-to-order service with no standard catalogue items.

Aluminium fluoride (AlF3) bare fiber, which FiberLabs positions as having a higher laser damage threshold and better water resistance than ZBLAN. It is used for mid-IR beam delivery and spectroscopy.

A cabling service for AlF3 fluoride fiber, aimed at mid-IR beam delivery for medical, dental and spectroscopy work. Protective tubing and bundle options are available.
