Lohja, Finland, September 10, 2007 – LIEKKI Corporation, a leading supplier of highly doped fibers and optical engine modules for fibre laser and professional amplifier applications, today announced the general availability of its 100W CW optical engine modules.

LIEKKI has moved forward from the prototype stage to general availability of its 100W CW optical engine modules. LIEKKI optical engines integrate the entire fiber amplifier or professional laser glass elements like active fibers, passive fibers, pump combiners, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), pump dumps and industrial filters into a thermally engineered package. This enables fiber laser manufacturer or system integrator to dramatically reduce the product development time and to concentrate on the full system development and integration.

Today, LIEKKI OE-Yb-L-100 modules have completed final design and qualification, and we have started to accumulate many hours of these devices under test.

The current line of LIEKKI optical engine modules consists of ytterbium fiber based CW laser and amplifier modules emitting at the 1030-1090nm wavelength range, with output powers up to and exceeding 100W.
