Launching high power laser light into a pure silica core optical fiber can sometimes damage the input face of the fiber, causing failure in fiber coupling. The coupling failure occurs more commonly ...

U.H.P. Fischer earneda degree in physics from the Free University of Berlin, Germany in1983. In 1988 he made his PhD in physics of condensed matter. In1988 he joined the Heinrich-Hertz-Institute in ...

Coupling light from a 980 nm high-power diode laser into a single mode fiber can be done more efficiently by forming a microlens at the end of the fiber, say researchers in Taiwan. Forming a tiny ...

Schäfter+Kirchhoff have launched a new fiber coupler series 60SMF. The couplers series 60SMF are high precision fiber couplers optimized for high coupling efficiency, high pointing stability and ...
