StockerYale Launches Erbium-Doped Fiber And Fibers For RGB Imaging And Laser Diode Pigtails

Salem, NH — StockerYale, Inc., a leading independent designer and manufacturer of structured light lasers, LED modules, specialty optical fibers for industrial OEMs and other photonics-based products, recently announced the availability of a new erbium-doped amplifier fiber, EDF-T9.

StockerYale's new Erbium Doped Fiber, EDF-T9, employs the Company's proprietary doping method that provides a number of measurable advantages, including a homogeneous glass matrix and the ability to control aluminum content with an unsurpassed degree of precision. These advantages ensure that StockerYale's EDF-T9 product can be used in a wide variety of telecom erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) designs.

"What differentiates this new erbium-doped fiber product is our ability to tightly control the aluminum which allows the EDF-T9 to be customized to match the gain spectrum of any existing gain-flattening filter as well as other standard EDF that are available in the market. We believe this compatibility will make StockerYale's EDF-T9 the workhorse for the EDFA market," said Mark Blodgett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of StockerYale.

In addition to the EDF-T9, StockerYale is also expanding in the area of short-wavelength single-mode products for inclusion within the family of select cut-off fibers already offered to address increasing application demands. The new short-wavelength fibers will serve in applications such as RGB imaging systems, laser diode pigtails, along with other specialized applications involving single-mode delivery of visible and near UV light.

StockerYale will showcase the EDF-T9 along with other products at the Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC/NFOEC) held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California from March 26th through 29th.
