Buying Fiber Amplifiers

Lasers beyond the state of the art

AFS’s customized kW average power and multi-mJ pulse energy ultrafast laser systems are based on AFS leading-edge fiber technology. They unite multiple main-amplifier channels using coherent combination, a technology which AFS has matured to an industrial grade. All essential parameters are software-controlled and can be tuned over a wide range, making them an extremely valuable tool for numerous application.

Thanks to their high rare-earth solubility (up to 100,000 ppm) and low phonon energy, LVF fluoride fibers offer dozens of active transitions, enabling a broad range of applications from visible to the mid-infrared, one of which is amplification. For example, LVF praseodymium and thulium doped fibers are used for amplification at 1.3 µm and 1.47 µm respectively. LVF doped fibers for amplification are available as single-mode fiber or double cladding fiber.

Le Verre Fluoré will soon offer laser and amplifier fiber modules. The required fiber will be integrated in a robust housing and connectorized with FC/PC, FC/APC, SMA or custom connectors depending on customer need: this is a plug-and-play module.

Depending on specific needs, modules might include single-mode or multimode splices between fluoride fibers or between silica and fluoride fibers.

Our new highly reliable Raman fiber amplifiers (RFA) are based on patented technology. With their high power of up to 30 W, the amplifiers cover the wavelength range from 1120 to 1370 nm that is not accessible by Yb or Er fiber amplifiers. For wavelengths outside this range, please enquire for a custom system.

The RFA is designed using TOPTICA’s high quality engineering excellence and utilizing a stable European & North American supply chain. The all fiber design requires no re-alignment and provides a high degree of stability. The RFA offers a wide tuning range of up to 10 nm, a relative intensity noise <1% r.m.s. (10 Hz – 10 MHz) and excellent long term RMS power stability of less than 0.5% over 100 hours (with a TA pro seed laser).

DK Photonics offers various erbium-doped fiber amplifiers for telecom applications, including compact amplifier modules as well as bench-top instruments with controls and displays.

Ytterbium-doped amplifiers for the 1-μm wavelength region are also available.

AdValue Photonics offers fiber amplifiers for wavelength around 1 μm, 1.5 μm or 2 μm. They are suitable for pulsed or continuous-operation, narrow linewidth or broadband light.

For the 1-μm region, we have compact and yet powerful large mode area fiber amplifier modules, which can deliver more than 120 W average output power.

Advanced Tunable Lasers Open the Future of Measurement Technology

Spectra Quest Lab offers fiber amplifiers in the 900-nm band (890–930 nm) with an average power of 20 dBm and peak power of over 100 W. In addition, in the 1-μm band, we also offer broadband fiber amplifiers for 975 nm – 1090 nm.

By combining a fiber amplifier section and a highly efficient, broadband tunable filter in multiple stages, transmission of ASE light other than the set wavelength to the next stage is suppressed, realizing a fiber amplifier with an unprecedentedly broad amplification bandwidth.

For both C- and L-band operation, AMS Techno­logies provides a selection of CW and pulsed erbium-(Er-)doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) as well as Yb/Er co-doped fiber amplifiers (YEDFAs) in a wide range of configurations and gains:

• 20 and 15 dB miniature size EDFA modules
• high-speed, pulsed EDFA modules, SM and PM
• single- or multi-port high-power YEDFA modules
• PM YEDFA modules
• 19”, 1U EDFA racks, also PM
• 19”, 1U YEDFA racks, also PM
• 19”, 2U multiport high-power EDFA racks

Thorlabs manufactures erbium (Er)-, ytterbium (Yb)-, and praseodymium (Pr)-doped fiber amplifiers for applications from ultrafast pulse amplification to datacom. Along with these stand-alone benchtop amplifiers, Thorlabs has developed a family of femtosecond lasers utilizing oscillator-amplifier architectures.

Lasers for the Molecular Age

Based on Cycle's own femtosecond fiber lasers, the company also offers fiber-based amplifiers (EDFA) with a center wavelength of 1550 nm to 1700 nm. This variant of the SOPRANO-15 is a very attractive solution to amplify the output of beam arrival monitors in synchrotron or FEL facilities, for example. Other custom-made fiber amplifiers are available upon request.
