Ytterbium Fiber Lasers
They are integrated into oem module for a harsh environment as onboard 3d scanning and telemetry applications.
Ytterbium fiber lasers. Ytterbium lasers commonly radiate in the 1 06 1 12 µm band being optically pumped at wavelength 900 nm 1 µm dependently on the host and application. Pulsed ytterbium fiber laser pyfl family. Keopsys pulsed yb doped fiber laser offers high peak power. Typically they are doped with rare earth elements such as erbium ytterbium and neodymium just like the crystals used in most dpss laser systems.
Highly reliable and robust these ytterbium pulsed lasers are maintenance free and easy to integrate. A fiber laser or fibre laser in british english is a laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare earth elements such as erbium ytterbium neodymium dysprosium praseodymium thulium and holmium they are related to doped fiber amplifiers which provide light amplification without lasing fiber nonlinearities such as stimulated raman scattering or four wave. 6 10a b the laser technique has the advantage of physically burning carbon binder material away instead of simply translating material to the surrounding areas as may happen. Fiber lasers are a specific subset of dpss lasers where instead of a crystal being used as the gain medium a doped fiber optic cable is used.
Ytterbium can also easily be incorporated into the material used to make the laser. Thorlabs y fi femtosecond ytterbium fiber laser is a high peak power nir laser that emits clean ultrafast pulses centered at 1035 nm.
