Optical Fiber Pigtails

Fiber pigtail or fiber tip is fiber end with high optical quality. Optical fiber pigtails are used to achieve accurate mounting for precision alignment of fiber optical components. To make the fiber pigtail, the bare fiber is glued to the core of an glass ferrule. The output side of the glass ferrule is usually coated with anti-reflection (AR) coating and is polished to an angle to achieve ultra-high return loss. With an 8? angle polished pigtail fiber, the return loss is more than 65dB. Larger wedge angle will give a higher return loss.

Oemarket.com provides a series of high quality single and dual-fiber pigtails at low prices. These include single-fiber tips for collimators, isolators, switches, circulators, and dual-fiber tips for WDM, compact circulators, etc. The standard fiber tips are of 8? angled with AR-coating at 1550nm, 1310nm or both wavelengths. Customized fiber tips with different wedges, coating, and ferrule length are available upon request.
