Ytterbium laser family

1 µm fiber lasers for precision photonics and high-power CW applications

Optromix Ytterbium fiber lasers cover the 1 µm spectral range with platforms designed to address different requirements. Single-frequency models prioritize ultra-narrow linewidth and controlled wavelength tuning, while single-mode PMY/SMY systems provide higher output power with narrow spectral width and TEM₀₀ beam quality.

Within the single-frequency family, SFYX models are available at standard wavelengths 1030.0, 1064.0 and 1107.4 nm, while SFYSM series offers standard wavelengths 1030, 1064, 1093, 1107 and 1112 nm. PMY/SMY can be configured at a selected central wavelength anywhere within the 1030–1122 nm range.

Choose the architecture

Two Ytterbium laser families for different optical requirements

The key distinction is in their spectral characteristics. Choose single-frequency when narrow linewidth and wavelength control are critical; choose single-mode when higher CW power with TEM₀₀ beam quality are the primary requirements.

Wavelength coverage

From 1030 nm to 1122 nm

The Ytterbium family covers a broad 1 µm wavelength range, with wavelength availability depending on the selected architecture. 1064 nm is available as a standard wavelength for both SFYX and SFYSM and falls within the configurable 1030–1122 nm range of the PMY/SMY platforms.

For applications that require a precise non-standard wavelength, Optromix can configure selected Ytterbium platforms within their specified tuning and custom-wavelength ranges.
