Where to Buy High-power Fiber Lasers and Amplifiers

MPBC has high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers in both their telecommunications and laser product lines.

For telecom, MPBC offers a series 2RU Boosters that provide up to 30 dBm of output power.

In the fiber laser line, high power can be found in their continuous wave near-IR lasers, available at up to 50 W in an air-cooled package, and 50 W to >100 W in a water-cooled package; and in the single-frequency Raman fiber amplifiers and lasers line, which provide low phase and intensity noise, narrow spectral linewidths and long coherence lengths. The Raman fiber amplifier system can amplify single-frequency seed sources from milliwatts to several watts in the NIR, which can then be frequency-doubled to provide stable, narrow linewidth, low noise visible output.

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.

AdValue Photonics produces various kinds of fiber lasers emitting in the wavelength regions around 1 μm, 1.5 μm and 2 μm. Some offer quite high output powers. For example, we have compact and yet powerful large mode area fiber amplifier modules, which can deliver more than 120 W.

Lumibird manufactures an extensive range of mature and custom-designed optical fiber amplifiers and fiber lasers. High output powers are achieved through the use of double cladding fibers pumped by broad stripe diodes. Several varieties of pumping techniques are used each optimized for specific applications. Lumibird also develops key components for producing unique and innovative light sources.

Menlo Systems' high-power fiber lasers based on erbium or ytterbium doped fiber use polarization maintaining (PM) components only. Our patented figure 9® laser technology ensures excellent stability and low-noise operation. We offer solutions for scientific research as well as laser models engineered for OEM integration.

The Koheras BoostiK high power single frequency fiber lasers is an ultra-low noise and narrow linewidth laser. The output power of up to 15 W makes it ideal for laboratory work and experimental research. Choose the operating wavelength freely in the 1 or 1.5-μm range. The excellent beam quality enables efficient frequency conversion. The combination of ultra-low noise, narrow linewidth, and high power output makes the Koheras BOOSTIK laser a highly versatile system for a long-range of applications such as optical length and frequency standards, quantum optics/computing & phenomena (optical trapping, Bose-Einstein condensate, atom interferometer, squeezing), nonlinear optics pump source, laser-based metrology (precision laser interferometry, spectroscopy), optical heterodyning and coherent communication and coherent beam combining.

INO has a long history of custom laser development for specific pulsed laser application. The cornerstone of the INO laser offering is our MOPAW technology, which provides unparalleled flexibility on the repetition rate (single-shot to 500 kHz), pulse duration (2 ns to 1 ms), and temporal pulse shape control. The MOPAW laser is perfectly well suited as a seed laser for high power amplifiers and frequency conversion thanks to its programmable temporal pulse shape, which can help precompensate for certain temporal effects such as gain saturation.

RPMC Lasers offers a variety pulsed and CW fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers with wavelengths between 532 nm and ≈1.5 microns. These fiber lasers can be configured in an OEM or turnkey system, with pulsed versions available from 100 fs up to 125 ns with rep rates from 5 kHz up to 80 MHz. Applications include material processing, LIDAR, micromachining, and more.

Thorlabs manufactures an ytterbium (Yb) doped high-power femtosecond fiber laser, the Y-Fi HP, with tunable repetition rate from 1 – 10 MHz producing up to 20 W of power and microjoule-level pulses. This system compliments our full line of ultrafast lasers and amplifiers and specialized optics including chirped mirrors, low GDD mirrors/beamsplitters, highly nonlinear fiber, and dispersion compensating fiber.
