FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RENTON, Wash., September 18, 2019 — Lightel Offers FBG Mirrors for Fiber Laser Applications
Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) mirrors are distributed reflectors fabricated in an optical fiber that can be utilized to produce a laser cavity in a fiber laser. Lightel now offers FBG mirrors that have been optimized to address the requirements of low noise and high efficiency fiber laser applications.
Lightel’s FBG mirrors feature low thermal slope, precise wavelength matching with a wide reflectivity range. Our process also allows us to fabricate FBG mirrors on a large variety of standard, custom or harsh environment fibers. Lightel’s FBG mirrors can be delivered in our high-power thermal dissipative package (also provides mechanical and shock protection and reduced wavelength drift) or simply recoated with a rugged low index polymer. Lightel can also write the FBG mirror on the output fiber of the pump combiner, thereby eliminating a splice, increasing the fiber laser assembly reliability and reducing assembly time.
