Products
Product category | Description |
---|---|
double-clad fibers |
LVF offers a range of rare-earth doped double cladding single-mode and multimode fluoride fibers for high power laser generation. Most of them exhibit a double D-shape on the first cladding in order to improve the pump absorption. Undoped double cladding single-mode and multimode fluoride fibers are also available. |
dysprosium-doped laser gain media |
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. LVF dysprosium doped fibers are available as single-mode fibers. LVF dysprosium-doped single-mode fibers can be used for laser emission at visible wavelengths (478 nm, 575 nm) and midinfrared wavelengths (3.24 µm, 4.3 µm). |

fiber amplifiers |
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.

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. |
