Optical Fiber suits reduced radius applications.
Press Release Summary:
Bend insensitive fiber employs numerical aperture (NA) that delivers lower bend loss at 1310 and 1550 nm without significantly affecting splicing performance. Available in 125 or 80 µm clad diameter, fiber is suited for tight bend radius conditions, multiple fiber wraps on mandrel, fused fiber couplers, and sensors.

StockerYale Introduces Bend Insensitive Fiber
Designed For Improved Bend Performance
December, 2002 -- StockerYale, Inc., an independent leading designer and manufacturer of specialty optical fiber, presents its new line of bend insensitive fiber, which is designed for improved bend performance in reduced radius applications.
The Company's bend insensitive fiber employs a moderately higher numerical aperture (NA) than standard single-mode telecom fibers. The moderate NA delivers lower bend loss at 1310 and 1550 nm without significantly affecting splicing performance and is available in a 125 µm or 80 µm clad diameter. StockerYale's bend insensitive fiber is ideal for tight bend radius conditions, multiple fiber wraps on a mandrel, fused fiber couplers, and sensors.
StockerYale's team of scientists and engineers can also custom design a bend insensitive fiber that meets a customer's exact specifications.
