15/130 Ytterbium-Doped LMA Double Clad PM Fiber

Nufern polarization maintaining, Large Mode Area (LMA), Ytterbium-doped double clad fiber is ideal for linearly polarized high power fiber lasers and amplifiers used in military, industrial, and medical applications. LMA Yb-doped fibers enable efficient, compact, diode pumped fiber sources that are an attractive alternative to traditional solid-state lasers. This fiber features a large core/cladding ratio with a low NA and is ideally suited for pulsed laser applications.
Applications
  • Pulsed fiber lasers and amplifiers
  • Material processing
  • LIDAR
  • Non-linear optics / frequency doubling
Features & Benefits
  • LMA core design and short amplifier length—Useful for generating high peak powers
  • "Few"-moded core design—Easy to maintain single-mode LP01 beam through fiber and components
  • PANDA-style stress structure for increased birefringence—Superior optical performance and uniformity
  • All fiber proof-tested to ≥ 100 kpsi—Critical for ensuring long term reliability when coiling
