HiFi: Highly Nonlinear Fiber Modules

Nonlinear fibers in convenient form factors

Download Spec Sheet

The Highly Nonlinear Fiber Module (HiFi) product line allows users to generate broadband supercontinuum from a femtosecond laser input. HiFi modules can be created to customer specifications using a variety of nonlinear fibers (anomalous and normal dispersion), depending on the desired output spectrum.

High conversion efficiency is achieved via low-loss splices (~0.5 dB) between the highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) and standard polarization-maintaining fiber. The HiFi comes in two different form factors: a fully jacketed fiber for maximum ease of use, or a compact aluminum housing for ruggedized mounting.
