Single clad fibers
The SC-250/14-PM-Ge is a truly single-mode, all-solid-core step-index single-clad fiber.
Based on a unique refractive index control, the 14 μm polarization-maintaining core delivers diffraction-limited output in a single mode. The mode quality is stable over time and independent of coiling.
The fiber offers mode-matching with our DC-135/14-PM-Yb fiber and is spliceable to commercially available pump/signal
combiners.

The Single-Mode Advantage
All our fibers are single-mode, leading to several advantages compared to standard multimode LMA fibers:
- Better output stability
- Excellent beam quality
- No need for tight coiling
- No coiling-induced mode area compression
