IR-image of FlexiRay® Fiber Cable with special silica fiber structure and HP connector design – without mode stripper and radiator
● Fiber core – 200 μm; NA=0.22
● Connector – HP-SMA (High Power SMA)
● High transmission of a 1.5 m long fiber cable provides a 53 W output of Diode Laser ( λ = 1470 nm)
● The temperature of connectors is measured with a thermopile after 15 min of power transmission: for the input end – 43°C (109,4°F), for the output end – 36.6°C (96,8°F)
● Insert: visualized profile of output beam for 53 W
IR-image of a common Fiber Cable assembled with a mode stripper & radiator at the output end
● Fiber core – 200 μm; NA=0.22
● Connector – HP-SMA with a mode stripper and radiator
● The mode stripper absorbs cladding modes but cuts off transmission of the 1.5 m cable to 33 W output for Diode Laser at 1.47 μm – providing the same beam profile
● The temperature of connectors measured with a thermopile after 3 min for 33 W of power output: input end – 44°C (111,2°F), output end – 78°C (172,4°F)
● Insert: visualized profile of the output beam for 33 W
