Fibre optics

nLight has introduced highly doped, photodarkening resistant ytterbium fibres, featuring absorption at 920nm up to 60 per cent higher than conventional fibres

Lambda Photometrics are now distributing a new line of fibre-to-fibre optical isolators from Optics for Research, specifically designed for use in super-luminescent LED applications

Fiberguide has introduced a range of collimators and focus guides for fibre optics that efficiently collimate a power light source into a defined degree beam

nLIGHT Corporation has released mode field tapers (MFTs) for efficient interconnection of dissimilar fibre geometries found in higher-power, diffraction-limited fibre lasers and amplifiers.

CASIX has released a range of etalons to its Fibre Optics (optical communications) range.

Multiwave Photonics has released the Higher Power Broadband ASE Source at 1um (BBS-1um-45-U), which is a new addition to its Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) fibre sources family.

nLight has released its very large mode area (LMA), low numerical aperture (NA), all erbium fibres manufactured using its Direct Nanoparticle Deposition (DND) active fibre production technology.

The Optran UVNS (UV Non-Solarising) Silica/Silica Fibre and PowerLightGuide have a long-term performance with 40,000 continuous, unfiltered hours of level, steady transmission at 95 per cent of the original output.

Fibercore Limited has released its proprietary, field proven, all-silica erbium-ytterbium co-doped, dual-clad fibre.

nLight has released a Ytterbium fibre product series known as LIEKKI Yb1200, which offers extremely high dopant concentrations resulting in short application lengths.
