The aeroGUIDE-POWER is the gold standard of high power single-mode fiber delivery. With a mode area above 120 µm2, the aeroGUIDE power offers the highest nonlinear threshold of any PM single mode delivery system on the market.
The systems are equipped with high power SMA-905 connectors with built in mode strippers to remove uncoupled light. The light exits through the “windows” in the connector, reducing the thermal load for better performance at high power. The aeroGUIDE-POWER is single-mode and can guide light with low loss anywhere in the 500 to 2000 nm range.
The fiber is protected by an armored squarelock steel cable that can handle daily use and even inter-lab routing through walls.
Features
- Truly single-mode
- Up to 400-2000 nm in one fiber
- Standard telecom connectors
- PM option
- Sealed ends with beam expansion
- Wavelength independent MFD
- Pure silica fiber
The aeroGUIDE series come in two basic configurations: Standard and Power. The standard series is designed for ultra broadband delivery while the Power series is optimized for high power delivery. The Power series is especially suited for delivery of high power narrow linewidth lasers where other fiber delivery solutions are often limited by SBS.
