Fluoride glass technology allows very efficient transmission and laser emission from UV to mid-infrared, enabling new fiber lasers sources and components for medical applications. Thanks to the many rare-earth available transitions, it allows visible and infrared fluorescence that can replace advantageously liquid dyes in the calibration of DNA sequencing machines. Our new germanate fibers enable efficient power handling and pigtailing of Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers used in surgery and dentistry.
Er:YAG and Er:YSGG laser fiber delivery :
LVF offers a new range of germanate multimode fibers that are the fibers of choice for power handling and pigtailing of Er:YAG lasers (2.94 µm emission) and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers (2.78 µm emission) used in surgery and dentistry.
2.8 µm fiber laser :
2.8 µm fiber lasers (10 W CW) for dermatology are commercialized since 2019 by LumIR Lasers, a spin-off of COPL and LVF (click here to see product page).
Mid-IR diagnosis :
Mid-IR supercontinuum, backscatter probes and cables are key components for mid-IR diagnosis.
Fluorescent solid-state dyes :
LVF offers rare earth doped glass fluorescent dyes for yellow, red, green fluorescence. Many other fluorescences are possible. Our solid-state dyes are used to calibrate DNA sequencing instruments.
