FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RENTON, Wash., September 12, 2017 — Lightel® Introduces Active Pump Combiners for Fiber Laser Applications
A fiber optic active pump combiner (also called a doped fiber pump combiner) is manufactured by coupling the pump power directly into a doped fiber (e.g. erbum-ytterbium). In a traditional pump combiner application, the end-user splices the combiner’s passive fiber output to a doped fiber, possibly resulting in back scattering. Lightel’s active pump combiner eliminates the splice to the gain element and any backward signal to the pump lasers is reduced. Available in (1+1)x1, (2+1)x1 or custom configurations, Lightel’s active pump combiners offer superior pump efficiency and optical-optical conversion.
