Where can I get a fiber?

[jeffreythe00]

Hey guys!

I am looking to get a fiber for a FAP 800-806nm.

The output of the laser is 10W+.

Where would I even begin to look for one? I'm also not looking to spend 100$+.

Thanks,
Jeff

Do a Google search or an eBay search...

Yeah I seen some on ebay. Too expensive for me.

I also found out I need a specific fiber.

Heres the datasheeet if anyone is interested. I am using the 16W Model as a base for my info. http://coherent.com/downloads/FAP800series_DSFinal.pdf

I hope you have proper Laser Safety Goggles for that
16 Watts of IR...

Not yet Jerry. I have intentions on getting a pair don't you worry

Powering this diode up will be a Tad bit of a project itself and I don't intend to if I can't protect my eyes. I've already went shopping for OD6+ glasses for this wavelength.

Get professional safety glasses. Also, prices usually won't get much cheaper than ebay. Thorlabs isn't even expensive from a professional point of view, so other professional shops probably aren't cheaper.
The specs you linked to show a 810um beam diameter and a SMA connector. Thorlabs only goes to 550um core in damage resistant fibers, I did find some at the newport site in 1 meter, 3 meter or 5 meter length with a 1000um core. They fall under the power delivery category, but no power is specified, so you'd have to inform if they can handle 16 watts.

Thank you very much for your help. I now know what I need to look for :thanks:
