Active Fibers
RE doped double cladding fibers
LVF delivers a large variety of ZFG or IFG double cladding singlemode fibers.
Some of them exhibit a double D-shape on the first cladding in order to improve the pump absorption.
Hereinbelow, some significant realizations with LVF RE-doped fiber:

(*)λc = cutoff wavelength
Fiber dimensions: Øcore/ Øclad1A* D1B/ Øclad2
Clad 1 = Øclad1A cladding with 2 D-shapes, separated of D1B
Clad 2 = Øclad2 second cladding = low index resin
Note: this list in not exhaustive since we have in stock double cladding singlemode fibers
Doped with: Er, Dy, Ho, Tm…
Codoped with: Pr/Yb…
As well as multimode double cladding fibers doped with Er, Tm, Pr… or co-doped Tm/Ho…
(**) The undoped double-cladding fiber was designed for high power laser generation. The double cladding will enable you to inject the pump into the first cladding instead of the core of the doped fiber and thus distribute the pump absorption in the first meters of the fiber.
Depending on your need and wavelength range of interest, fibers can be customized in order to adjust their cut-off wavelength, core diameter and rare earth content.
CUSTOMIZE
your own singlemode fiber :
- Doping (rare earth and content)
- Custom cut-off
- Custom NA (from 0.04 to 0.35)
- Custom core size (from 2µm core diameter)

All our fibers are available as fiber patch cables or fiber bundles
