Double-Clad Ytterbium-Doped Fiber for Pulsed Lasers

Coractive optical fiber spools – DCF-YB-12/128P-FA

DCF-YB-12/128P-FA at a glance

Key specifications

  • 3.0 ± 0.5

    Cladding Absorption @ 915 nm (dB/m)

    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.

  • 12 ± 1

    Core Diameter (µm)

    Diameter of the light-guiding core.

  • 0.08 ± 0.01

    Core Numerical Aperture

    Light-acceptance angle of the core; with the core size, it sets how many modes are guided.

  • 128 ± 3

    Cladding Diameter (µm)

    Low splice loss with standard fiber such as HI1060.

  • > 0.45

    Cladding Numerical Aperture

    Wide, flat absorption from 910 nm to 970 nm – reduces pump cooling and allows 940-960 nm pumping.

  • (18)

    Cladding Absorption @ 975 nm (nominal) (dB/m)

    Pump light absorbed per metre by the doped core, measured through the cladding.

Description

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.

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
