Patchcords for Er:YAG Lasers

Patchcords

For power transmission with Er:YAG lasers, patchcords are used that are optimized for the 2940 nm wavelength to virtually eliminate power losses. The biocompatible fibers can be sterilized and meet all the requirements for medical applications.

Inquire about our patchcord assemblies and specify these and other features:

• Fiber type
• Fiber diameter of the optical fiber
• Connectors

Hollow-core Fibers

Hollow-core fibers for Er:YAG lasers are equipped with a silver mirror coating on the inside, which is followed by a silver iodide coating. This creates an efficient dielectric IR reflector, which can be optimized for certain wavelength ranges between 3 μm and 20 μm.

Sapphire Fibers

Sapphire fibers are special fibers grown from a crystal. They are characterized by the excellent material properties of a sapphire crystal. Thus, they are chemically almost neutral; and at above 2000°C, their melting point is particularly high. At the same time, they are as flexible as a glass fiber.
