UOM Meter(s)

Coherent Large Mode Area (LMA) Ytterbium-doped double clad fiber is ideal for high power fiber lasers and amplifiers used in military, industrial, and medical applications. These fibers enable efficient, compact, diode pumped lasers that directly compete with traditional solid-state lasers. The fiber features a 20 micron diameter core and 400 micron diameter clad size with a low NA (0.06) core. With > 75% slope efficiency and compatibility with operating at > 1kW of CW output power, this fiber is ideal for use in high power single-mode industrial fiber lasers.


Details

Features & Benefits

  • NuCOATFA fluoroacrylate coating - Greater fiber durability in extreme operating and storage conditions
  • LMA core design - Useful for generating high CW powers
  • "Few" moded core design - Easy to maintain single mode LP01 beam through fiber & components
  • PANDA-style stress structure for increased birefringence - Superior optical performance and unformity
  • All fiber proof tested to >100 kpsi - Critical for ensuring long term reliablity when coiling

Typical Applications

  • High power fiber lasers
  • CW and pulsed amplifiers
  • Military, industrial and medical
