KSC - Kilowatt Signal Combiner

Combine the output of multiple kW class fiber lasers into a single fiber with high efficiency using one of these KSC Kilowatt Signal Combiners.

Based on our proprietary tapered fiber technology, KSC devices feature high optical efficiency which enables multi-kilowatts of laser power to be safely combined with up to 1.5 kW of backward power handling. They are characterized by low thermal slope and low M2.

KSC – Typical Specifications Overview

Use these anywhere in the typical 1060-1080 nm fiber wavelength range to get the performance listed here. Custom designs with user-specified fibers are also available.
