FiberLabs manufactures and offers various types of ZBLAN fluoride fibers: single mode fiber, multi mode fiber, double cladding fiber, and rare earth doped fiber. ZBLAN fluoride optical fibers consist of ZrF4/BaF2/LaF3/AlF3/NaF and transmit the wide wavelength range light from visible to mid-infrared up to 4 μm. In addition, the fibers doped with rare earth elements efficiently emit the lights in the wavelength bands of 850 nm, 1300 nm, 1460 nm, 2800 nm, etc. These features can be applied in infrared spectroscopy, infrared laser guides, fiber lasers, and optical fiber amplifiers.
