This phosphosilicate Yb-doped double-clad fiber offers high doping concentrations and high QCE values that ensure minimum fiber length, minimum pump power and reduced non-linearities. With all the benefits that phosphosilicate fibers have to offer, such as high energy saturation and no photodarkening, it is the perfect solution for a wide range of demanding pulsed laser and amplifier applications in the industrial and medical markets.
Double-Clad Ytterbium-Doped Fiber for Pulsed Lasers
DCF-YB-12/128P-FA
Description
Features & Benefits
- Large core diameter with high pump absorption – allows a shorter fiber length for a more compact and less expensive design while reducing non-linear effects
- Photodarkening-free – ensures stable long-term operation
- Wide, flat absorption from 910 nm to 970 nm – reduces pump cooling and allows 940-960 nm pumping
- Low splice loss with standard fiber such as HI1060
Applications
- Pulsed fiber lasers: gain media in pre-amplifiers or low power amplifiers for MOPA configuration
- Material processing: laser marking, laser engraving, micromachining and welding
- Medical
