StockerYale Introduces Three New Speciality Optical Fibers; The Company Continues To Expand Its SOF Product Portfolio.Business Editors and High-Tech Writers SALEM, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 2003 StockerYale, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : STKR), an independent supplier of photonics-based products, today announced the availability of three new specialty optical fibers (SOF SOF abbr. sound on film ) - two Bend Insensitive fibers and one Low-Loss Cladding Mode In fiber optics, a cladding mode is a mode that is confined to the cladding of an optical fiber by virtue of the fact that the cladding has a higher refractive index than the surrounding medium, which is either air or the primary polymer overcoat. Suppression fiber. These three new products join an ever-increasing portfolio of specialty optical fibers that the Company is marketing to a wide range of industries including the telecommunications, gyroscope gyroscope (jī`rəskōp'), symmetrical mass, usually a wheel, mounted so that it can spin about an axis in any direction. When spinning, the gyroscope has special properties. , and sensors. BEND INSENSITIVE FIBER StockerYale's two new bend insensitive fibers are designed for improved bend performance in reduced radius applications and have a moderately higher numerical aperture The measurement of the acceptance angle of an optical fiber, which is the maximum angle at which the core of the fiber will take in light that will be contained within the core. Taken from the fiber core axis (center of core), the measurement is the square root of the squared refractive (NA) than standard single-mode telecom fibers. The moderate NA delivers lower bend loss at 1310 and 1550 nm without significantly affecting splicing splicing /splic·ing/ (spli´sing) 1. the attachment of individual DNA molecules to each other, as in the production of chimeric genes. 2. RNA s. performance. The Company's bend insensitive fibers are currently available in a 125 or 80 um clad diameter and can also be manufactured with higher numerical apertures for more demanding applications. StockerYale's bend insensitive fibers are ideal for tight bend radius conditions, multiple fiber wraps on a mandrel mandrel /man·drel/ (man´dril) the shaft on which a dental tool is held in the dental handpiece, for rotation by the dental engine. man·drel or man·dril n. 1. , fused fiber couplers, and fiber optic sensors. LOW-LOSS CLADDING MODE SUPPRESSION (CMS (1) See content management system and color management system. (2) (Conversational Monitor System) Software that provides interactive communications for IBM's VM operating system. ) FIBER StockerYale's low-loss cladding mode suppression fiber is intended for the fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. of high-quality fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). Because the coupling of the core mode to cladding modes is highly suppressed, StockerYale's cladding mode suppression fibers virtually eliminate cladding mode loss peaks in the transmission spectrum. Additionally, because of its proprietary FBG FBG Fiber Bragg Gratings FBG Fasting Blood Glucose FBG Functional Brain-Gut Research Group FBG Florida Brewer's Guild FBG Fluidized Bed Generator FBG Flavor Blasted Goldfish (gaming) FBG Forum Battle Group simulation software, StockerYale is able to design CMS fiber that attains the achievable physical limit of cladding mode suppression. StockerYale's cladding mode suppression fibers are ideal for the manufacture of DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing filters, dispersion compensating filters, and gain-flattening filters.
