Ytterbium doped double clad fiber YDF-DC-6/125

Photodarkening free Yb-doped DC fiber
Application notes:

YDF-DC-6/125 series is specially designed for highly efficient high-reliability CW lasers operating in the 1.03-1.08 µm spectral range. Flat absorption in the range of 910-965 nm and specially designed polymer coating allow usage of laser based on such fibers in an extra wide temperature range (-60..+60°C).
