Laser Polishing The fiber ends are polished after assembly. The better the polish, the better the laser beam can be coupled into the fiber. The same, of course, applies to utcoupling o and thus to the quality of the entire system. LASER COMPONENTS uses a recision p process to achieve particularly low roughness depths. The result is fiber assemblies with maximum efficiency. End Face Coating In order to avoid back reflections, the fiber end faces often have to be coated with an anti-reflective layer (AR coating). LASER COMPONENTS benefits from its d ecades of experience in laser optic coatings....
