IMRA Irish Mountain Rescue Association IMRA Industrial Marketing Research Association America, Inc., (IMRA) a world leader in the research, development, manufacturing and application of ultrafast fiber lasers, announces an agreement with Nufern to license IMRA's patent for amplification technology enabling Nufern to offer a wider variety of optical fiber sub-assemblies based on Nufern's specialty fibers. In this agreement, IMRA, based in Ann Arbor, MI, licenses Nufern U.S. Patent No. 5,818,630 "Single-Mode Amplifiers and Compressors Based on Multi-Mode Fibers." This patent is relevant to sub-assemblies based on Nufern's Large Mode Area (LMA LMA left mentoanterior (position of fetus). ), Double-Clad (DC) fibers. Nufern is a leading independent manufacturer of high power amplifier Power amplifier The final stage in multistage amplifiers, such as audio amplifiers and radio transmitters, designed to deliver appreciable power to the load. and fiber laser sub-assemblies and specialty optical fibers based in East Granby, CT. "This IMRA technology can allow Nufern to add more value to customers of Nufern's LMA DC fiber-based standard and custom subassemblies, providing enhanced performance and power scaling Power scaling of a laser is increasing its output power without changing the geometry, shape, or principle of operation. Power scalability is considered an important advantage in a laser design. attributes," said Martin F.
