PM-S350-HP In Stock

The PM-S350-HP by ThorLabs is a state-of-the-art polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber, meticulously designed to cater to even the most demanding applications in the UV and visible spectrum. This fiber is engineered to deliver ultra-low attenuation over long distances, making it an excellent choice for a range of industries. The PM-S350-HP boasts of a pure silica core, optimized for use with wavelengths between 350 nm - 680 nm. This core provides exceptional protection against photodarkening, making it ideal for use at shorter wavelengths. Moreover, the fiber is resistant to radiation-induced damage and color center formation, ensuring long-lasting durability even under extreme conditions.

One of the most remarkable features of the PM-S350-HP is its PANDA-type stress rods, designed for polarization-maintaining operation. These stress rods are cylindrical and are interchangeable with bow-tie stress rods. The stress rod runs parallel to the fiber's core and creates birefringence, enabling polarization-maintaining operation. It is worth noting that PANDA cylindrical stress rods are preferred over bow-tie stress rods in telecom applications because they maintain uniformity over very long lengths, leading to more stable performance over time. This characteristic also makes the PM-S350-HP an excellent choice for various other industries, including medical, scientific research, and more.
