Wavelength [nm]
The combination of the PCF consisting of a fused silica glass core and a polymer cladding offers the optimum blend of advantages of POF and glass fibers. A Tefzel® layer is additionally applied as a buffer to improve the mechanical and thermal properties. The same transmitter and receiver components are used for PCF as for POF (650 nm).
