The Nufern Series of CW (continuous wave) Fiber Laser Modules offer highlyreliable, robust assemblies that can be easily integrated into OEM laserapplications for industrial and manufacturing environments. These gain modules include a fully tested CW fiber laser cavity that canaccept a variety of pump diode options.
Features• 2 to 50 W CW output power ~ 1micron• Diffraction limited beam quality (M2 ~ 1)• Simple to install and integrate• Compact, maintenance free OEM package
Fiber Laser ModulesThe monolithic laser design uses a fiber-based architecture that inherently neverrequires optical or mechanical re-alignment or adjustment of any kind – which means the near perfect diffraction limited beam quality is maintained over the life of the module. Each component incorporated into the Nufern modules uses Nufern’sindustry leading double clad fiber – from the active gain fiber to the Bragg gratingsand pump combiners. The high quality and compatibility of all the fiber used in these modules ensures the highest performance and reliability.
Applications• Marking and Engraving• Micromachining• Medical Device Manufacturing• Precision Material Processing• Printing – Flexography & Gravure• Rapid Prototyping/Sintering• Plastic and Thin Metal Welding

The Fiber Laser AdvantageThe monolithic architecture and inherently efficient design of fiber lasers offers a number of intrinsic advantages overconventional lasers.
The benefits of using fiber laser technology are already beingrealized in a wide range of laser applications:
Diode Pump OptionsWhether you prefer to incorporate single emitters,bar diodes or stacks into your design, our Fiber LaserModules can accommodate your requirements. Differentwavelength options are also available at 915, 940, and975 nm. These modules are offered with any standard, or custom-designed, pump coupler or connector. Nufernalso provides complete modules with pre-packaged, pre-spliced diodes designed to meet your criticalperformance and output requirements.
Linearly Polarized Output OptionsNufern’s unique large-mode area polarized fiber laser modules offer high-power linearly polarized outputs with near diffraction limited beam quality and very high Polarization Extinction Ratios (PER). This output is ideal for frequency conversion to anumber of different shorter wavelengths.
Let Nufern help you make the transition to fiber laser technology. Contact us today to receive a Fiber Laser Power Calculator
along with the optical and performance specifications on the
Fiber Laser Module of your choice.
