Fiber end cap For Laser

Fiber end cap For Laser

Fiber End caps are optical components designed for the end-face processing of fiber laser and fiber amplifiers with high average power at the interface of glass to air. The power could be so intense at the junction of fiber and air due to the minor cross-sectional area of the fiber, that strong heating and scorching could still devastate the fiber optic. Fiber end caps extend the cross-sectional area at the end faces of the fibers and therefore help to enhance the output power limit of fiber laser, reducing the power densities at the terminals within endurable bounds without causing damage using beam expansion so that the fiber component will not be injured.
