25/250 Ytterbium-Doped LMA Double Clad PM Fiber

Nufern's Large Mode Area (LMA) Ytterbium-Doped Double Clad Fiber is ideal for 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 10/400 core/cladding size with a low NA (0.075) core, > 77% slope efficiency, > 100W CW output power and is suitable for use in single-mode applications.

Applications
  • High peak power amplifiers
  • LIDAR
  • Material processing
  • 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 & 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
