LASER COMPONENTS Fiber bundles for high-power, lamp-transmission and high-temperature applications use fiber-fusing technology for assembly, which allows fibers to be configured into a fiber bundle without the use of adhesives. This prevents the typical dead zones and the adhesive gap between the fibers in the end face area. The damage threshold of the fiber (1 GW/cm²) can thus be fully utilized. The fiber bundles assembled in this way can therefore also be used in high-power applications or under demanding environmental conditions. Upon request, firm can also equip the fiber ends with an AR coating to prevent back reflections and thus increase the coupling efficiency to a maximum.
