In laser technology optical power has to be transmitted with as little loss as possible. High-OH fibers are used for UV wavelengths; otherwise, low-OH fibers with a quartz/quartz profile (NA = 0.22, diameter = 200 μm to 1000 μm) can be used. The high damage threshold is important: 1 GW/cm².
LASER COMPONENTS offers fiber assemblies from our in-house production that are equipped with high-power connectors and are ready to be used. In order to reach the highest coupling efficiency possible, we coat the fiber end facets. An AR coating improves the efficiency by 6-8%.
Biocompatibility and sterilization are keywords in medical technology. Polymicro's fibers fulfill both criteria - test reports are available!
