Corning® PANDA PM Specialty Optical Fibers
Corning’s PANDA PM Specialty
Fibers are designed with the
best polarization maintaining
properties, and are the industry
standard in the world today.
The fibers offer low
attenuation and excellent
birefringence for high
performance applications.
Available in a wide range of
standard operating
wavelengths up to 1550 nm,
and with a variety of coating
designs, Corning PANDA PM
Specialty Fibers are optimal for
high performance polarization
retaining fiber applications.
This field-proven fiber supports
high growth applications, and
performs well over a wide
temperature range.
