7. Industry Applications and Solutions-Industrial Lasers

We provide key raw materials for fiber lasers and the wide applications of specialty optical fibers in the industrial fields with fiber preform and quarts tubes.

Detailed Data Sheets of Fiber Preforms

1. Fluorine-doped Quartz Tube

The waveguide structure of Triple-cladding Active Optical Fibers (AOF), compared to Double-cladding Optical Fibers, can enable most of the pump light to reflect at the cladding, significantly improving the thermal management of the fiber, significantly reducing the reflection of high-power density pump light at the fragile organic coating layer, thereby greatly improving the stability and reliability of the entire laser optical path.

Fluorine-doped quartz tubes have the advantages of high fluorine concentration, low OH content, and good geometric uniformity. They can be made into multi-layer composite tubes with polygonal structures, and are widely used in triple-cladding Active Optical Fibers (AOF) and related Passive Optical Fibers (POF). Design fluorine doped quartz tubes with matching 2.5mm and 3.5mm core diameters for YDF 34/460/530 active doped optical fibers.
