Active Fibers
RE doped single mode fibers
Thanks to their high RE solubility (up to 100 000 ppm) and low phonon energy, LVF fluoride fibers offer dozens of active transitions, enabling a broad range of application possibilities from visible to the mid-infrared.
We have a large stock of various designs of ZFG or IFG doped single mode fibers.
Doped with: Dy, Ho, Tm, Er, Pr, Sm, Nd, Yb…
Co-doped with: Er/Yb, Pr/Yb, Tm/Yb, Ho/Pr, Tm/Nd, Tm/Dy, Tm/Pr, Tm/Ho, Ce/Tm..
