PHOTONSTREAM optical fiber end caps are high-power devices designed for the end face treatment of high-power fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers. They protect fiber optic connectors from contaminants such as dust and moisture, thereby ensuring the quality and longevity of the fiber connection. By expanding the output beam, the output end's optical power density is reduced, protecting the fiber end face from high-power laser damage. The optical fiber end caps adopt a special end face angle design, significantly reducing end face echo reflections and minimizing energy loss and potential optical interference caused by reflections. They have many applications, especially in the field of laser processing, which is both extensive and crucial. The following are applications of optical fiber end caps in laser processing.
Optical fiber end caps are high-power devices designed for the end face treatment of high-power fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers. By expanding the output beam, they effectively reduce the output end's optical power density, protecting the fiber end face from direct damage by high-power lasers. This protective mechanism makes optical fiber end caps an indispensable part of laser processing systems, especially in applications requiring high peak power or high average power.
Optical fiber end caps use special end face angle designs that significantly reduce end face echo reflections, decreasing energy loss and potential optical interference caused by reflections. At the same time, optical fiber end caps can maintain low beam distortion, ensuring high-quality laser beam transmission. This is crucial for laser processing applications that require precise control of the laser beam's shape and direction.
