Coherent 1300 nm PANDA-style PM Gyroscope fibers have extremely high birefringence and exceptionally tight dimensional specifications, critical for manufacturing high precision, high-performance gyro-coils. The intrinsically high level of radiation resistance allows operation for extended periods of time on low Earth orbits, near and deep space, and applications where exposure to man-made radiation is expected.
Applications
Fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs)
Fiber optic voltage and current sensors
Laser pigtailing
Small form factor couplers
Specialty sensors
