TrueLase™ LMA Yb 16/250 Optical Fibers
Development of the new Lightera TrueLase Optical Fiber family was driven by an increasing demand for a reliable fiber supply in the rapidly growing fiber laser market space. Fiber lasers had their start in the erbium doped amplification work done in the early 1990’s. Lightera, a global market leader in the design and manufacture of Erbium-Doped Optical Fibers, possesses the expertise and experience in fiber fabrication technology necessary to meet that demand. Lightera has been developing and manufacturing high power components and modules for many years and understands the reliability standards expected in the diverse material processing applications.
The Lightera family of TrueLase 16/250 Active and Passive LMA Double Clad Optical Fibers is an ideal tool for integrated high power fiber lasers and amplifiers. Our fibers combine high clad absorption, precision matched mode field diameter designs, and unprecedented manufacturing control ensuring easy integration across the entire laser architecture. All TrueLase optical fibers utilize the latest TrueClad low index polymer coating specially engineered to ensure superior reliability & performance in the most demanding of environments.
