Lumentum’s large mode area (LMA), extra-large mode area (XLMA), and precision-matched passive optical fibers are engineered to optimize laser beam delivery, particularly in high-power pulsed laser applications. LMA fibers reduce optical power density, minimizing nonlinear effects and enabling efficient single-mode or few-mode beam transport. XLMA fibers support extremely high-power delivery in applications where minimizing nonlinear distortion is critical.
With tight tolerances on core/cladding dimensions and numerical aperture, Lumentum’s precision-matched fibers ensure low-loss, high-stability splicing to active fibers. The Lumentum Pulsed Laser Fiber Series is ideal for building lasers, amplifiers, and sensitive laboratory systems where beam quality and signal integrity are paramount.
