MOPA Pulsed Fiber Amplifiers

1530-1565 nm (1050-1090 nm on Request); Pulse Energy >10 µJ; Repetition Rate 6-20 kHz; Typ. Pulse Width 50 ns; Average Optical Power 23 dBm; Typ. Return Loss -50 dB

Fiobtec Fiberoptics’ MOPA light sources are compact master oscillator - power amplifier (MOPA) setups that can be directly modulated within certain limits of repetition rate and pulse power. Standard products operate at around 1.5 µm wavelength at a repetition rate of > 6 kHz and a pulse power of 10 µJ/50 ns (200 W peak).

Versions with 1050 nm to 1090 nm wavelength are available on request. Customer-specific products at both wavelength windows with an additional booster amplifier stage permit much higher repetition rates (above 50 kHz) or peak power (2 kW).

The high power density and the excellent beam parameter product after decoupling into free space make these light sources a preferred choice for many test and measurement applications. Especially mobile range finders, scanners and LIDAR systems can benefit from the beam quality in connection with the low power consumption.
