YAG optical fiber Properties:
The YAG Optical Fiber boasts a variety of high-performance features that ensure optimal functionality across multiple applications. The following are the key properties that make it stand out:
Transmittance: One of the defining characteristics of this YAG optical fiber is its impressive transmittance, exceeding 80% across the range of 400 nm to 3000 nm. This broad spectral transmittance ensures the fiber’s effectiveness in a wide variety of optical applications, from telecommunications to scientific research. The high transmittance means that the fiber can effectively transmit light without significant signal loss, making it an essential component in systems where clear and uninterrupted signal transmission is critical.
Diameter: The YAG Optical Fiber is available in diameters ranging from 25 μm to 500 μm, allowing flexibility in its application. Smaller diameter fibers are ideal for systems requiring compact and flexible solutions, while larger diameters are suited for high-power laser systems and applications requiring the transmission of higher energy levels. Custom diameters can also be produced according to client specifications, ensuring that the fiber can be tailored for highly specialized tasks.
Melting Point: The YAG Optical Fiber has a high melting point of 2072°C, making it suitable for extreme temperature applications. This high thermal stability ensures that the fiber maintains its structural integrity and optical performance even in high-heat environments. This property makes it ideal for use in high-temperature sensing, aerospace applications, and industrial processes where materials are exposed to harsh thermal conditions.
Tensile Strength: The fiber is designed with exceptional tensile strength, greater than 2200 MPa, which ensures durability and reliability under mechanical stress. This makes the YAG optical fiber a robust solution in environments where the fiber may be subjected to physical strain, such as in aerospace, defense, and industrial applications.
Thermal Conductivity: With a thermal conductivity of approximately 22 W/m/K, this YAG fiber efficiently dissipates heat, which is crucial in high-power applications where heat generation is a concern. This property allows the fiber to perform well in dynamic environments where high-energy signals are transmitted over long distances without overheating.
Refractive Index: The YAG optical fiber has a refractive index of approximately 1.7 at λ=1.55 μm, a key feature that influences the light propagation within the fiber. This value ensures efficient transmission of optical signals, minimizing losses during long-distance propagation. The specific refractive index is crucial for the design of optical systems where precision in light transmission is necessary.
Fiber Orientation: The YAG optical fiber can be oriented in different crystallographic directions, such as the a-axis and c-axis, which can be selected based on the specific application requirements. This allows the fiber to be fine-tuned for optimal performance, particularly in systems requiring specialized light interactions, such as high-power laser systems or optical sensors.
