Eye Safe 25/300 Erbium Ytterbium Co-Doped LMA Double Clad Fiber

The first true Large Mode Area (LMA) Er:Yb fiber featuring a unique low NA (0.1) Er:Yb core design, achieved without

sacrificing high pump conversion efficiency and developed for applications where robustly single-mode output beam quality is critical. The high NA (0.46) 300μm cladding waveguide allows for efficient coupling of high pump powers, while the large core diameter (25μm) maintains a large-mode field diameter and short device length, thereby minimizing deleterious non-linear effects such as SBS and SRS. Both non-PM and PANDA-style PM fibers are available, as are a range of support fibers for component and pigtail development efforts. As with all Nufern standard LMA fibers, these fibers are proof tested to 100 kpsi, an industry requirement for long-term reliability when coiling for mode filtering.

Applications
  • Eye safe lasers and amplifiers
  • Military and commercial LIDAR
  • High peak power pulsed fiber amplifiers
  • Ultra-short pulse fiber amplifiers
Features & Benefits
  • Unique low NA Er:Yb co-doped core design — Few moded core, for robust SM beam quality
  • Large mode field diameter — Increaased threshold for non-linearities
  • Optimized, high efficiency core glass composition — Suitable for high power operation
  • PANDA-style stress stucture for increased birefringence — Superior optical performance and uniformity
  • All fiber proof-tested to > 100 kpsi — Critical for ensuring long term reliability when coiling for mode filtering
