High Optical Power Fiberoptic Components for 2 µm Fiber Laser

Photonwares proposes developing a 2µm fiber optic isolator configuration integrated with multiple components to improve performance and a high average power handling threshold of up to 100W.  Our design overcomes the major hurdles in high power 2µm fiberoptic device fabrications by incorporating several novel technologies that leverage the Company’s production experience and understanding of the high power properties in fiber components by fundamentally addressing key aspects of high power damage risks inside fiberoptic isolators.  Phase I will provide detailed simulations and design optimization.  We will fabricate prototypes of key components to validate the proposed underlying technologies.  Photonwares is well positioned to transition these developments into practical high-power isolators based on our existing fiber laser components product line.
