OFS Specialty Photonics offers four new premium erbium/ytterbium double clad fibers for high-power amplifiers and lasers. These new fibers, as well as gain modules assembled using these fibers, offer high efficiency and lower overall fiber laser cost in LIDAR, material processing, test and measurement, and related applications. Fibers are offered with standard single mode (conventional 6μ... (read more)

When looking for a fiber with a high numerical aperture (N.A.) for more efficient light coupling, the Superguide™ PCS is the low cost fiber of choice. The pure fused silica (SiO2) used in the core of the Superguide™ fiber is made by reacting silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) with oxygen (O2) using an oxy-hydrogen flame resulting in superior ultraviolet (UV) to visible (VIS) transmis (read more)

When looking for a low cost fiber with a high numerical aperture (N.A.) for more efficient light coupling, the Anhydroguide™ PCS is the fiber of choice. With an N.A. of 0.37 and a plastic cladding that allows a high core-to-clad ratio, satisfies those requirements and more. The pure fused silica (SiO2) used in the core of the Anhydroguide™ fiber is made by reacting silicon tetra (read more)
