YB 401-PM at a glance

Key specifications

  • 140 ± 25

    Core Absorption @ 915 nm (dB/m)

    High quantum conversion efficiency – lowers pump power requirements, reducing overall system costs.

  • ≥ 3.0E-4

    Birefringence

    High birefringence.

  • 6.0

    MFD @ 1060 nm – Nominal (µm)

    Width of the light distribution guided in the core.

  • 0.14 ± 0.02

    Core Numerical Aperture

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

  • 850 ± 50

    Cutoff Wavelenght (nm)

    Wavelength above which the core guides a single mode.

  • 5.0

    Core Diameter – Nominal (µm)

    Diameter of the light-guiding core.
