NKT Photonics, the manufacturer of photonic crystal fibres, has announced the AeroGain-Rod fibres – a new generation of ytterbium gain fibres designed specifically for the ultra-fast fibre laser market.
They offer the highest peak power capability in the industry, claim the company, while keeping a diffraction-limited beam quality and robust coupling.
The performance makes them ideal gain media for the next generation of high-power ultra-fast fibre lasers for use in semiconductor applications, materials processing and imaging.
