PM-TSF-9/125, PANDA-Type Tm-Doped Select Cutoff PM Optical Fiber
This single clad, small core diameter fiber is designed specifically for use in core-pumped cavities. As the fiber is polarization maintaining, it is also suitable for applications requiring linearly polarized output. The PANDA-style stress rods enhance birefringence, ensuring reliable polarization stability. These fibers provide excellent performance in applications where robust single-mode quality and efficient lasing in the ~2 µm window are critical.
Features
- Small diameter Tm-doped core design - Robust single-mode quality
- May be pumped with 793 nm diodes or resonantly pumped using a fiber laser
- High pump absorption - Short fiber length, efficient lasing in the ~2 µm window
- Core pumping facilitates access to shorter lasing wavelengths below 1900 nm
- RoHS compliant
Applications
- Low to mid-power CW and pulsed Eye Safe (~2 µm) lasers and amplifiers
- Eye Safe industrial and medical lasers
- Military and commercial LIDAR
- ~2 µm output TEM00 fiber lasers for pumping solid state crystal lasers
