SPIE Photonics West is the world leading photonics technologies event.

Sep 27, 2021----Advanced Fiber Resources (AFR) is delighted to announce that its 2 μm High Power Isolator series was honored with a Silver Award of the 2021 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards Program.

The product addresses the growing demand at the 2 μm region. Its performance and reliability are guaranteed by AFR's proprietary design and manufacturing process that suppress unwanted absorption in this wavelength range.

Benefited from extensive experience on the 1 μm high-power isolators, the polarization-independent 2 μm isolator series offers excellent optical performance, high environmental stability, and reliability in a compact size and lightweight. AFR’s unique technology and design enable its power handling of 100 W for the fiber-to-free-space isolator and 50 W for the in-line version, which to our knowledge are the highest levels in the market. These isolators are ideal choices for both fiber oscillators and fiber lasers of the MOPA architecture.
