AR Coatings for Optical Fibers
High Power Transmission Guaranteed
AR Coatings for Optical Fibers
Effective immediately, our fiber optics customers will also benefit from anti-reflection coatings. Their application is practical when high power has to be transmitted across optical fibers using a laser. These coatings significantly reduce coupling losses. This high power advantage has a particularly positive effect in medical technology and material processing.
LASER COMPONENTS offers both assembled cables, including coated fibers, and job coatings on fibers supplied by the customer. We can process all types of fibers – from fused silica fibers (SM and MM) to sapphire fibers. It is important that all materials used, for example, in buffers, be suitable for vacuum environments.
The following AR coatings are available on a standard basis for optical fibers:
• Single ARs: AR coating for one wavelength (e.g. 808 nm)
• Dual ARs: AR coating for two wavelengths (e.g. 808 and 980 nm)
• Broadband ARs: AR coating for a wide wavelength range (e.g. 460-700 nm)
Customer-specific Coatings
Customer-specific coatings are available any time. You can depend on us as a reliable partner to deliver fiber optical assemblies and high-quality coatings in one!

Eye-Safe 1550 nm Pulsed Laser Diodes
The innovations of the new 1550 nm pulsed laser diode (PLD) can be summed up in two points. Systems into which this PLD has been integrated still fall under laser safety class 1. The wavelength is not visible with standard night vision equipment.
The tested and proven technology of the 905 nm PLDs was used in the new 1550 nm pulsed laser diodes manufactured by LASER COMPONENTS Canada. A laser diode chip contains several epitaxially integrated emitters. With two emitters the new 155G1S2J02x achieves an output power of 5 W @ 150 ns, dc = 0.1% at an emitter size of only 50 µm x 7 µm. At shorter pulse lengths the optical peak power can be overdriven accordingly. The 1550 nm pulsed laser diodes are best suited for use in military laser rangefinders and identification friend or foe (IFF) systems.

The extremely reliable base material used in PLDs is InGaAsP, which is also applied in industrial scanners. The wide operating temperature range from -45°C to +85°C and the excellent temperature stability guarantee a wide measuring range also in warmer regions. To exhaust all technical advantages of PLD chips, they are integrated into a hermetically sealed TO housing. This ensures a high degree of reliability, the ability to overdrive, and a very precise chip position in the housing.

APD Modules – Detecting Light Quickly and Reliably
In addition to the wide range of avalanche photodiodes, we would like to take this opportunity to introduce our new APD modules. With the help of APD modules, even the smallest amount of light can be detected quickly and reliably. This quality is essential in data transmission, laser radars, rangefinders, or biomedical systems.
The heart of our APD modules is a low-noise Si or InGaAs avalanche photodiode with a preamplifier and an integrated high voltage power supply. The built-in temperature compensation facilitates extremely reliable operation of this module at a constant gain across a wide temperature range.
The built-in InGaAs detector has a diameter of 200 µm, which makes it possible to measure in the spectral range from 1000 nm to 1650 nm. The silicon versions from 400 nm to 1100 nm are available with integrated APDs of D = 500 µm and D = 1.5 mm. They offer a bandwidth from DC to 10 MHz.
Because all the components are stored in a small, shielded metal housing (approx. 75 x 56 x 26 mm3), only a standard 12 VDC power supply is required for operation. This makes the use of an APD and the detection of even the smallest amount of light as easy as pie. OEM versions and customer-specific modules are available upon request.
