SM-YSF-LO-HP, Yb-Doped Select Cutoff SM, Optical Fiber
Coherent single-mode Yb-doped fibers are designed to support low power fiber lasers and amplifiers based on singlemode diode pump technology, rather than the multimode pumps used in high-power applications. For applications where high efficiency and very short device lengths are critical, these single-mode fibers are compatible with standard “telecom” fiber technology ensuring low splice loss to numerous fiber pigtailed components. These fibers make the ideal gain medium for low average power femtosecond fiber lasers and pre-amplifiers for higher power double-clad amplifiers. These High Perfor- mance (-HP) versions provide tighter optical and geometric tolerances, improving device performances, system compatability and manufacturing process control.
Features
- Single-mode output - Compatible with standard telecom 980/1060 nm fiber-based components providing low splice loss
- High Ytterbium concentration - Short fiber lengths to reduce detrimental non-linear effects
- High slope efficiency (typically 75%) - Efficient utilization of pump power
- Higher Prooftest Yields - Critical for long-term reliability in tight bend applications
- RoHS compliant
Applications
- Low power CW and pulsed fiber lasers
- Femtosecond fiber lasers
- Pre-amps for high-power, double-clad devices
- Industrial laser systems
