Fiber Lasers Poised to Seize Market Share

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Linear polarization and efficient high-power operation expand the application areas for double-clad fiber lasers and amplifiers.

Bryce Samson, Nufern

Significant progress over the past two years in the development of fiber lasers has led to an increase in the CW power of single-fiber devices from 130 W to 1 kW. Advances in fiber design have played a major role, particularly the development of large-mode-area fibers that deliver single-mode output with diffraction-limited beam quality even at these high powers. At the same time, improvements in the manufacture of high-quality fibers with large cladding diameters (typically 400 μm) and high numerical aperture (>0.45) are essential for the efficient coupling of the desired pump...Read full article
