MY Polymers has a wide range of dedicated re-coating materials. We believe there is a real need in such materials, due to the contradicting requirements between Recoating Materials and Primary Coatings.Our materials have been optimized for Re-Coating, and they are replacing Primary Coatings in most recoating applications.
Some typical recoating applications are shown in the drawings above. Re-coating is required for the pump power combiner, the FBG components, splices, couplers, etc.
For cladding Power strippers, customers select the higher index, Low Modulus (meaning High Flexibility) LM-14X. A growing number of customers are adopting the Cascaded CPS design, using a cascade of re-coating segments with a gradually higher index. This structure enables a gradual dissipation of heat, resulting in dramatically improved reliability.
