Elevate your laser systems with Exail's diverse range of rare earth-doped fibers, including Ytterbium, Erbium, Erbium/Ytterbium, and Thulium variants, complemented by carefully matched passive fibers.

Our laser and amplifier fibers boast superior mode quality, efficient pump light absorption, extended lifetime, and remarkably low photodarkening. Rely on Exail for consistent, high-performance operation, even in the most challenging applications.

PM, polarizing and spun fibers

Unlock precision and performance with Exail's PM, polarizing, and spun fibers. Crafted for high-performance interferometric, polarimetric sensors, and integrated optics, Exail's industry-leading polarization maintaining fibers redefine excellence.

Our fibers, tailored to the specific needs of fiber-optic gyroscopes, current sensors, transformers, polarizers, and more, ensure optimum performance for each application. Making us the trusted provider for the world's most critical applications.

Harsh environments fibers

Exail offers active and passive optical fibers designed for use in harsh environments with high radiation levels and/or extreme temperatures. Designed for harsh conditions like nuclear facilities, oil & gas, high-energy labs or space, Exail's specialty optical fibers excel in data transmission, sensing, and in-vitro diagnosis.

Combining Exail’s unique expertise in radiation-hardened silica together with advanced coatings such as polyimide and aluminum, these harsh environment fibers ensure optical and mechanical integrity of the fiber in the most demanding environmental conditions.

Single mode and multimode fibers

Exail stands at the forefront of specialty optical fiber innovation, offering a diverse range that caters to multimode, single mode, photosensitive and multicore fibers. From UV solarization resistant fibers to high-NA bend-insensitive fibers, Exail offers a wide range of commodity fibers with various NA, cladding diameter, coating material, core geometry and composition, for tailored performance from 375 nm to 2300 nm.

Photonic crystal fibers

Collaborating with Photonics Bretagne, Exail offers a diverse range of Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCF) for applications such as high-power delivery, low latency telecommunication, gas sensing, or supercontinuum generation.

Hollow core fibers benefit from low dispersion and non-linearities and are ideal to transport pulsed signals with minimal pulse distortion. Solid core fibers with tailored microstructures offer broadband singlemode operation across the VIS-NIR range with large core size and a well-controlled dispersion profile, finding applications in f-2f conversion, transport of laser light, or supercontinuum generation.
