10/125 Precision Matched

Passive LMA Fibers

Nufern’s large mode area (LMA) passive single and double clad fibers are ideally suited for applications spanning military,

industrial and medical including linearly polarized fiber lasers and amplifiers. These fibers feature a 10 micron diameter

core and 125 micron diameter clad size with a low NA (0.075) core. They are precision matched to their LMA Yb-doped

10/125 matched counterparts to ensure excellent splice compatibility and low loss. As with all Nufern standard LMA fibers,

these fibers are proof-tested to 100 kpsi, an industry requirement for long term reliability. They utilize the latest fiber design

and the double clad fibers features NuCOAT-FA coating technology to ensure excellent preservation of beam quality and

extended operating life demanded by today’s industrial fiber laser applications.
