Laser Cable High Power SMA

HP-SMA connectors are available in different versions, depending on the power transferred. This depends on many factors. Above all, the core diameter of the fiber, the beam profile of the laser and, in addition, the spot size of the focused laser beam and its centric alignment with the fiber core. Ideally, the spot diameter should make up about 80% of the fiber core. For powers up to 100 watts, no heat sink is usually required, provided that the cladding modes are not stripped off. Otherwise, it is advisable to use a correspondingly sized heat sink at 10 watts, assuming that 1% of the power in the cladding (cladding) is performed.
