Optical Fibers

Delivering light for continuous wave
and pulsed fiber lasers.

Absorptive, powerful, reliable.​

We offer active and passive optical fibers (produced in Finland) for CW, quasi-CW and short-pulsed fiber laser and amplifier applications extending from the low to the high power regime.​​ LIEKKI® active optical fibers are fabricated using our proprietary direct nano-particle deposition process resulting in high performance and high reliability. Active fibers are available with either Ytterbium (Yb), Erbium (Er) or Thulium (Tm) and offered over a range of dopant concentration levels, cladding types and core diameters. ​

Industry-leading optical fiber.

 

Proven Reliability​

Unmatched reliability proven over the years with thousands of high power lasers deployed across a variety of industries and applications.​

Independent Core Profile Control​

nLIGHT Liekki fiber provides precise profile and doping control with hundreds of layers of nanoparticles.

Direct Nanoparticle Deposition Process

realNA

nLIGHT’s proprietary single-step deposition process reduces background loss and application length to provide higher efficiency.​​​​

The most accurate fiber core NA measurements coupled with excellent homogeneity and batch-to-batch uniformity provide consistent performance.
