First high power 1550nm optical fibre for quantum optics, LiDaR
Coherent has launched a single-mode (SM), polarization-maintaining (PM) erbium-ytterbium co-doped optical fibre for high-power 1550 nm, narrow linewidth, and single-frequency amplifiers.
Coherent is now the first company to support pure SM, PM optical fibre for >20 W average power capabilities for cold atom and optical quantum systems as well as LiDaR sensors.
The key Coherent product innovation is merging high-power performance and improved beam quality and incorporates a 130 µm geometry that emphasizes manufacturability and lightweight construction. The design is made possible by a proprietary Coherent manufacturing technology.

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of the world’s first exclusively single-mode, polarization-maintaining erbium-ytterbium co-doped fibre for high-power applications,” said Kanishka Tankala, Vice President of Specialty Fiber Products. “This pioneering technology is optimal for quantum computing and coherent LiDAR research while also significantly improving the power scalability of current single-frequency amplifier systems.”
To ensure the best beam quality and coupling efficiency, Coherent offers precision-matched passive fibres that may be used in manufacturing passive optical components or for beam delivery.
The PM-EYDF-10P/130-XPH and matching passive optical fibre products are available immediately.
