Coherent Uses Diode Lasers for Gold Soldering

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 1 -- Coherent Inc's. Laser Processing Center has developed a new method for employing high-power diode lasers to solder gold-metallized telecommunications fibers to gold-plated substrates. To overcome typical complications of soldering gold-plated objects, the Laser Processing Center is using a high-power 40-watt NIR fiber array package (FAP) system equipped with a standard 1:1 optics imaging accessory, said Tony Hoult, applications manager. To initially prove the feasibility of diode lasers for gold-tin soldering, Hoult said he placed a number of gold-plated telecom...Read full article
