3 Optical Components Specialty Fiber Products 1550 nm High Numerical Aperture Single-Mode Optical Fiber Part Number: FS-SC-7324 Stock Number: 98-0400-1356-1 June 2001 Product Applications Features and Benefits Interferometric Sensors - Fiber Optic - Hydrophones Communciation Systems - Laser Packaging and Pigtailing EDFA Construction - 980/1550 nm WDM Fabrication - EDFA Gain Fiber Pigtailing Device Fabrication High numerical aperture reduces sensitivity to induced macrobend loss when deployed on small diameter coils. High index of refraction, mode stripping coating reduces microbend sensitivity. Easy to remove single layer acrylate coating simplifies fiber preparation steps in pigtailing and fabrication.
