DCF-YB-8/128P-FA at a glance

Key specifications

  • 1.8 ± 0.3

    Cladding Absorption @ 915 nm (dB/m)

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

  • 8 ± 1

    Core Diameter (µm)

    Diameter of the light-guiding core.

  • 0.10 ± 0.02

    Core Numerical Aperture

    Strictly single-mode operation and low splice loss with passive matching fibers for excellent beam quality.

  • 128 ± 3

    Cladding Diameter (µm)

    Outer diameter of the glass cladding.

  • Min 0.45

    Cladding Numerical Aperture

    High-NA cladding that captures and guides the pump light.

  • (10.8)

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

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

Description

This phosphosilicate fiber is ideal as a gain medium for lower power amplifiers or the pre-amplifier stage and is mainly used in a MOPA configuration of a pulsed fiber laser. On top of all the benefits found in a phosphosilicate fiber (photodarkening-free and high absorption), this fiber shows high energy saturation, which is essential for applications such as laser marking and engraving.

Features & Benefits

  • Strictly single-mode operation and low splice loss with passive matching fibers for excellent beam quality
  • Photodarkening-free – ensures stable long-term operations
  • Wide, flat absorption from 910 nm to 970 nm – reduces pump cooling and allows 940-960 nm pumping

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 Applications
