10/130 Ytterbium-Doped LMA
Double Clad Fiber
Featuring the latest Gen VIII glass composition, Nufern’s large mode area (LMA) and PM-LMA Ytterbium-doped double clad
fibers are ideally suited for applications spanning military, industrial and medical including linearly polarized fiber lasers and
amplifiers. LMA Yb-doped fibers enable efficient, compact, diode pumped fiber sources that are an attractive alternative to
traditional solid-state lasers. This fiber features a single mode large core/cladding ratio with a low NA and is ideally suited
for both CW and pulsed laser applications.
