H100 Small Core Fibre (NEW)
The new small core High Power Multimode mid-infrared fibre has been designed for Medical, Industrial and R&D applications. It offers a spectral transmission from 0.3 to 4.5 µm with low attenuation and no spectral absorption peak and the small core enables high power handling over small bend radius from a wide range of lasers such as Er:Yag (2.94µm), Semiconductor Lasers (QCL), Solid State Lasers or Tunable MWIR lasers (OPO).
| Features |
- Spectral transmission from 0.3 to 4.5 µm
- Low attenuation: No significant spectral absorption peaks up to 4.5 µm
- Fiber core diameter 100 µm
- Dual clad for higher power handling
- Numerical aperture: 0.2 (0.3 or other NA possible on demand)
- High laser damage threshold
- Bend insensitive down to 1"

HPF: High Power Fiber
HPF’s unique characteristics provide a higher transmission in the mid-infrared than competing technologies, especially at Er:YAG (2.94µm), Er,Cr:YSGG (2.78 µm) or Tunable Mid-IR OPO wavelengths. In addition, IRphotonics HPF fiber transmits visible light from pointing lasers very efficiently.
The standard HPF fiber features a 450 micron core that provides the ideal trade-off between mechanical flexibility and high coupling efficiency.
| Features | Specifications |
- Highest transmission in the mid-IR
- Ideal for single/multiple wavelengths or tunable lasers
- Exceptional mechanical flexibility
- High mechanical flexibility
- Low-loss in the visible
- Connectorized assemblies available
| | Attenuation: | < 0.1 dB/m at 2.9 µm | | Numerical Aperture: | 0.20 ± 0.02 | | Core Diameter: | 450 µm typical | | Fresnel Losses: | 4 % per end face |
