Frequently Asked Questions

YDF-DC-10/125 has the highest cladding absorption on the market — with a 976 nm pump, efficient amplification is achievable in around 3 metres of fiber, versus much longer lengths for standard cladding-pumped fibers.

The fiber is available with PANDA or octagonal cladding shape, selected based on your polarization and pump-absorption requirements.

Photodarkening resistance is more than 20 times better than standard Al2O3-SiO2 ytterbium-doped fiber, so output power stays stable across the system's operating lifetime.
