Buying Large Mode Area Fibers

Optical fibers with particularly large mode areas are useful for high-power fiber amplifiers and lasers, as they have reduced nonlinear effects. These fibers allow for the efficient transmission of high-power laser light with minimal distortion.
Making Good Purchase Decisions
RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.
NEW: Structured Decision Process
We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.
(Various further improvements of this feature will come soon.)
