Ytterbium lasers are highly efficient have long lifetimes and can generate short pulses.
Ytterbium fiber laser.
Coming as an entirely integrated turnkey benchtop which can be driven.
In this paper we summarize the fundamental properties and review the latest developments in high power ytterbium doped fiber ydf lasers.
The review is focused primarily on the main fiber laser.
Ytterbium can also easily be incorporated into the material used to make the laser.
The yb 3 ion is used as a doping material in active laser media specifically in solid state lasers and double clad fiber lasers.
They have a very simple electronic level structure with only one excited state manifold 2 f 5 2 within reach from the ground state manifold 2 f 7 2 with near infrared or visible photons pumping and amplification involve transitions between.
Thorlabs y fi femtosecond ytterbium fiber laser is a high peak power nir laser that emits clean ultrafast pulses centered at 1035 nm.
Reliability and maintenance free are defining this single laser.
Ytterbium doped laser crystals and glasses have a number of interesting properties which differ from those of e g neodymium doped gain media.
A fiber laser or fibre laser in british english is a laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare earth elements such as erbium ytterbium neodymium dysprosium praseodymium thulium and holmium they are related to doped fiber amplifiers which provide light amplification without lasing fiber nonlinearities such as stimulated raman scattering or four wave.
