25/250 Ytterbium-Doped LMA Double Clad Fiber

Nufern’s 25/250 Ytterbium-doped double clad fiber is ideally suited for pulsed fiber amplifier applications. Based on a waveguide structure that supports fewer modes than the 30/250 fiber, this fiber is incorporated into components and monolithic designs where maintaining beam quality can be more difficult. 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 Large Mode Area (LMA) fibers, these fibers are proof-tested to 100 kpsi, an industry requirement for long term reliability when coiling for mode filtering.

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
