Precision machined mirror profiles and high reflection coated fiber cavity mirrors from pioneers in fiber-cavity fabrication. We are the first commercial source and have more than 10 years of experience in manufacturing and operating high finesse fiber-based cavities. We offer stock and custom fibers.
Custom cavity fibers
We manufacture fibers specially tailored for your requirements:
- custom high reflective coating (also uncoated),
- profile (radius of curvature, depth, ellipticity)
- optionally
with tapered tip for better optical access and shorter cavity lengths
- protection
- connectorized
- Multi-mode or single mode fibers (also some speciality fibers, multicore fibers, photonic crystal fibers, pure silica core fibers)
- Multiple stop bands
- Concave mirror dimples in custom silica substrates or mesa structures

Planar mirrors
We also sell matching highly reflective planar mirrors (1/2" or 10x10mm). Contact us for details, specifications and prices.
Order cavity fibers
To buy cavity fiber mirrors, please contact us. We are also happy to support you to find the right micro-cavity mirror or cavity mirror pairs.
Specifications to discuss:
- What reflectivity is needed, or what finesse?
- What radius of curvature is needed?
- What length should the micro-cavity be operated at (longest possible, shortest possible)?
- Do you want to operate the fibers in vacuum?
- Are planar macroscopic mirrors also needed?
- Is a certain transparent band needed? What is the width of the stop-band?
- Are multi-mode or single-mode fibers needed?
- What is the ellipticity needed?
