PLMA-YDF-10/125-HI-8, PM Yb-Doped Double Clad Optical Fiber
Featuring the latest Gen VIII glass composition, Coherent Large Mode Area (LMA) and Polarization Maintaining LMA (PLMA) Ytterbium-doped double clad fibers are ideally suited for military, industrial, and medical applications, including linearly polarized fiber lasers and amplifiers. This fiber features a single-mode large core/cladding ratio with a low NA, suitable for both CW and pulsed laser applications. The NuCOAT fluoroacrylate coating enhances environmental durability and ensures long-term reliability, making these fibers an attractive alternative to traditional solid-state lasers.
Features
- NuCOAT fluoroacrylate coating - Greater fiber durability in extreme environmental operating & storage conditions
- LMA core design and short amplifier length - Useful for generating high peak powers
- Easy to maintain single-mode LP01 beam through fiber & components
- PANDA-style stress structure for increased birefringence - Superior optical performance and uniformity
- All fibers proof tested to > 100 kpsi - Ensures long-term reliability
- RoHS compliant
Applications
- Pulsed fiber lasers and amplifiers
- Material processing
- LIDAR
- Non-linear optics / frequency doubling
