Fiber Grating + Fiber Lens
EDFA and Raman pumping applications generally require a special fiber integrating a 9xxnm/14xxnm FBG and a fiber lens. The lens couples light from an LD laser chip into the fiber. Efficient matching between the chip and lens can yield coupling efficiency up to 90%. The FBG forms external-cavity feedback to stabilize the output near its center wavelength. Its low temperature-sensitivity coefficient greatly improves pump-laser wavelength stability and reduces temperature-control requirements. Narrowing the pump spectrum increases and stabilizes the proportion of optical power within the EDFA erbium-ion absorption band, improving pumping efficiency and stability. Our company is currently the only manufacturer worldwide able to mass-produce both FBGs and lensed fibers, providing an integrated solution and avoiding extra costs from two processing steps and suppliers for grating inscription and fiber-lens fabrication. The distance between grating and lens can be controlled above 1m or made as small as possible (minimum 1.5mm) according to requirements. The product directly supports wavelength locking of EDFA 980nm pump lasers and fiber-grating external-cavity lasers.
