Buying Raman Fibers
Raman fibers are specially designed optical fibers that utilize stimulated Raman scattering for Raman fiber lasers and amplifiers. They often feature high Raman gain coefficients or large Raman frequency shifts.

 34, Rue de la Croix de Fer 78100 Saint Germain-en-Laye France See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 5039)! |  The IXF-PDF and IXF-PDF-PM fibers are phosphorous-doped fibers especially designed to achieve very high Raman gain at 1.48 μm for high-power pumping of erbium-doped fibers. P-doped fiber offers a Raman frequency shift that is three times higher than that of germanium-doped fibers. The main application is in high-power sources at 1240 and 1480 nm that can be used as pump lasers in O-band and C-band fiber amplifiers. The IXF-PDF series have been optimized to offer the best trade-off between a small effective area, a high level of phosphorous (P2O5) doping in the fiber core and an optimized numerical aperture to increase the overlap of the fundamental mode with the fiber core, optimizing the Raman gain and efficiency. |
