Overview

For fiber laser between 890 – 1100 nm

iXblue offers a complete range of Neodymium fibers with some unique properties.

iXblue Neodymium Aluminosilicate double clad fibers have been developed to maximize fiber efficiency through a precisely controlled host composition. Compared to a standard Neodymium fiber, the 1.06-micron emission is reduced through careful fiber design optimization.

Our double clad fibers are routinely tested to various parameters such as photodarkening and environmental behavior.

Single clad fibers are also proposed and would be ideal to build seeder sources.
