Fiber Laser

Vytran’s unique technologies enable the precision fusion splicing and fused fiber components critical to high-power fiber laser performance. This includes creating combiners and tapers, photonic crystal fiber (PCF) splicing, and large diameter fiber splicing with low loss.
Fused fiber components are key building blocks for reliable, efficient, high-power fiber lasers. In a typical fiber laser system, fused components include pump combiners, mode adaptors, output combiners and couplers, and end-caps. Even a basic splice becomes a system component, as splices for fiber lasers are typically between dissimilar fibers so generally require some form of mode adaption.

Our fiber processing solutions allow the high-strength, low-loss components our customers rely on as the foundation for their products. Our GPX-3000 multipurpose glass processing platform creates low-loss splices, tapers, couplers and combiners (e.g. 7:1 and 19:1) on optical fibers from 125 microns to 1.5 mm in diameter. True Core Imaging™ enables accurate inner-core alignment and splice loss calculation while End-View Imaging™ provides automated alignment of polarization maintaining (PM) fibers, fibers with non-circular cladding or micro-structured cores, and dissimilar fibers.
