Fiber Optic Laser Diode

The pump laser is focused into cladding that sits around the fiber core as the fiber core itself is too small to have a low quality diode laser focused into it.

Fiber optic laser diode.

Thorlabs specializes in the building blocks for laser and fiber optic systems. By pumping the laser into the cladding around the core the laser is bounced around inside and every time that it passes the core more and more of the pump light is absorbed by the core. The ibeam smart pt as well as the multi laser engine ichrome xle cover the range from 375 785 nm and provide a. Other fibers and fiber lengths are available upon request.

From optomechanical components to telecom test instrumentation thorlabs extensive manufacturing capabilities allow us to ship high quality well priced components and devices for next day delivery. Depending on the integrated laser diode cw or pulsed output powers of up to 120 mw from a 9 125 single mode fiber can be achieved. These laser diodes are used in fiber optical data transmission measurement devices otdr process control optical sensors and alignment systems. While all of toptica s diode lasers can be combined with toptica s versatile fiber launch fiberdock we also offer dedicated permanently fiber coupled systems.

The operation of some of the devices depends on the faraday effect which in turn is produced by magneto optic effect which is used in the main component the. An optical isolator or optical diode is an optical component which allows the transmission of light in only one direction it is typically used to prevent unwanted feedback into an optical oscillator such as a laser cavity.
