Optical fiber is a slender waveguide using glass or plastic as the transmission medium, which efficiently transmits optical signals using the principle of total internal reflection. It boasts advantages such as low loss, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and high bandwidth, and is widely used in optical communication, laser transmission, fiber optic sensing, medical imaging, and industrial inspection. Depending on the materials and structure, optical fibers can be classified into single-mode, multimode, and specialty fibers, meeting diverse needs from data communication to high-power laser applications.
Choosing the right fiber type is crucial for ensuring system performance and stability. Depending on the application scenario, operating frequency band, and usage environment, the following factors can be considered when making a selection.
| Operating Wavelength | UV / Visible / Near-infrared (200–2500 nm): Quartz (Silica) Fiber, Single-mode Fiber Mid-far-infrared (>2.5 μm): Infrared Fiber, Specialty Fiber Ultra-wideband or special optical properties: Photonic-crystal Fiber (PCF) |
| Transmission Mode | Single-mode transmission: Single-mode Fiber (low dispersion, long distance, high precision) Multimode or high coupling efficiency: Quartz Fiber, Hard-plastic-clad Fiber Multi-point acquisition or imaging: Fiber Bundle |
| Power and Functional Requirements | Optical amplification or laser output: Doped Fiber High-power or nonlinear applications: Specialty Fiber, PCF Signal Acquisition and Detection: Fiber Probe, Fiber Components |
| Installation and Usage Environment | Space-constrained, frequent bending: Low-bending-loss Quartz-clad Fiber Short distance, durability priority: Hard-plastic-clad Fiber Complex system integration: Fiber Components, Custom Fiber Components |

Quartz optical fiber uses high-purity silica as its core material, possessing excellent light transmission performance, low transmission loss, and good environmental stability. Suitable for light transmission from the ultraviolet to near-infrared bands, it is one of the most commonly used and mature fiber types.
Infrared optical fiber is specifically designed for mid-to-far-infrared light transmission. It often uses fluoride, chalcogenide, or polycrystalline materials, enabling infrared band transmission that traditional quartz optical fiber cannot cover. Suitable for infrared imaging and spectral analysis.
Specialty optical fibers are custom-designed for specific optical or environmental needs, possessing unique advantages in structure, materials, or performance. They can achieve polarization preservation, high-power transmission, high-temperature resistance, or radiation resistance.
Single-mode fiber has an extremely small core diameter, allowing only a single optical mode to propagate. It enables ultra-low dispersion and ultra-long-distance transmission, making it a core fiber type for high-speed, high-precision optical communication systems.
Doped fibers introduce rare-earth ions (such as erbium, ytterbium, thulium, etc.) into the core, enabling optical amplification or laser output. They are key materials for fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers.
Photonic crystal fibers, through periodic microstructures, control the propagation characteristics of light, achieving ultra-low loss, ultra-wideband, or highly nonlinear transmission. They are of significant value in advanced optics and nonlinear optics.
A fiber bundle is composed of multiple optical fibers arranged in an orderly manner, enabling multi-point light collection, imaging, or optical signal convergence and transmission. It is suitable for complex spatial or multi-channel optical path applications.
Hard-plastic clad fiber uses plastic as the cladding material, combining a high numerical aperture with good mechanical strength. It has advantages such as easy coupling, bending resistance, and low cost, making it suitable for short-distance optical transmission.
Low-bending-loss quartz-clad fiber maintains high light transmittance while significantly reducing signal loss caused by bending, making it suitable for space-constrained or high-density cabling environments.
Fiber optic components, including connectors, adapters, beam splitters, couplers, and other related products, are used to connect, distribute, and manage fiber optic systems, and are an essential component of a complete optical system.
Fiber optic probes combine optical fibers with specific optical structures to achieve precise light emission, collection, or detection, suitable for near-field measurements and optical detection in complex environments.
