Laser Welding Penetrates the Plastics Market
Sep 1, 2004 — Lasers seem the obvious choice for welding plastics: Their flexibility is second to none, and the quality of the weld is better than that achieved with most other techniques. Despite these and many other advantages, however, their penetration into the plastics market has been slow. According to market analysts, there are several reasons for this. “To successfully use a laser to weld plastics, you not only have to redesign the plastic part to be suitable for this process, you also have to...
Thulium Laser Enables Single-Frequency Oscillation in New Spectral Region
Sep 1, 2004 — Single-frequency fiber lasers have been developed in the 1.1-µm spectral region (based on ytterbium active ions) and in the 1.5-µm region (based on erbium active ions), but, recently, scientists in Denmark developed what they believe is the first...
Aculight Merges 1400 Diodes in a Beam
Aug 31, 2004 — BOTHELL, Wash., Aug. 31 -- Aculight Corp., a developer of laser technologies, said it has produced an external cavity diode laser that combines the outputs from seven diode laser bars, each containing 200 single-mode emitters, to generate 26 watts...
Eye-Safe Laser Generates 7 W of Average Power
Aug 1, 2004 — Eye-safe lasers with output in the 1.5-µm regime are in demand for rangefinding, lidar and other remote-sensing applications. Most of them have depended on awkward nonlinear optics or on complex cross-excitation pumping schemes to generate 1.5-µm...
Up-Conversion Fiber Laser Produces Visible Output
Aug 1, 2004 — Lumics GmbH of Berlin has developed a visible-wavelength source based on an up-conversion fluorozirconate (ZBLAN) fiber laser that has emission lines comparable to those from an argon-ion laser. It works by exploiting the absorption of rare-earth...
Aculight Makes LMA Fiber Laser System
Jul 14, 2004 — BOTHELL, Wash., July 14 -- Aculight Corp. announced it has produced a 60-watt, 540-nm, frequency-doubled, large mode area (LMA) fiber laser system. The company said the system could enable the use of fiber lasers in applications that demand...
Fiber Laser Offers New Approach to 488-nm Emission
Jun 1, 2004 — Solid-state laser sources at the argon-ion wavelength of 488 nm find many applications in medicine, graphics, semiconductor inspection and elsewhere. Several commercial models are already available, and others are expected to be introduced to the...
Nd-Doped Fiber Laser Generates 360-fs Pulses at 900 nm
Jun 1, 2004 — Femtosecond lasers are useful in machining applications as well as in medicine, precise rangefinding and fluorescence studies. Fiber lasers offer an attractive alternative to conventional femtosecond sources because of their high efficiency and...
C-Band Er/Yb Fiber Laser Generates 43 W
May 1, 2004 — Tunable lasers in the eye-safe, 1.5- to 2.0-µm region are useful for remote optical sensing, range-finding and free-space communication. Erbium-doped fiber lasers have the necessary gain bandwidth to cover shorter wavelengths of this spectral...
Double-Clad Photonic Crystal Fiber Laser Is Side-Pumped
May 1, 2004 — Probably the most common technique for pumping fiber lasers is to pump them through the ends of the fiber, focusing the light into the inner cladding. A drawback of this is that it does not tolerate high-power pumping with multiple sources. To...
High-NA Fibers Enable High-Power Lasers
May 1, 2004 — A research group at the University of Bath in the UK has analyzed and demonstrated techniques to fabricate photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with a numerical aperture as high as 0.9. The techniques may dramatically affect the efficiency and power of...
Scaling Single-Mode Photonic Crystal Fiber Lasers to Kilowatts
May 1, 2004 — The first rare-earth-doped fiber lasers, which produced a few milliwatts at a wavelength of around 1 μm, were operated in the early 1960s. For the next several decades, fiber lasers were little more than a low-power laboratory curiosity....
Alkali Lasers Challenge Thin Disks and Fibers
Mar 1, 2004 — What led you to investigate alkalis as laser materials? I’m an inventor, an applied scientist. I like asking what the problem is and then looking for solutions to it. At any given time, we have an arsenal of lasers and we often try to force...
Fiber Lasers Poised to Seize Market Share
Mar 1, 2004 — 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...

Good Splices Make Good Lasers
Nov 1, 2003 — Intracavity losses of a fraction of a percent can cut the output power of a low-gain laser, such as an erbium-doped fiber laser, by a factor of two or more. A significant source of loss in an erbium-doped fiber laser is the splice between the...
Mode-Locked, Tunable Fiber Laser Is Alternative to Ti:Sapphire
Nov 1, 2003 — Fiber lasers are being developed in laboratories around the world as alternatives to traditional solid-state lasers. The Ti:sapphire laser, however, has remained largely unchallenged as a source of broadly tunable, ultrashort pulses. But now a...
