What are fiber lasers?
This is the most advanced architecture of solid-state lasers operating in the standard wavelength of about 1070 nm, which allows them to interact well with metals and most plastics. Due to their relatively simple design, high lifetime (commonly quoted lifetime is more than 100 thousand hours) and high efficiency, they are widely used in industrial applications. Among fibre lasers, systems with different operation can be found – continuous, pulsed and quasi-continuous, they can have different beam quality and exist in power ranges from 10 W to tens of kW. As a result, they can be successfully deployed in a wide range of applications from laser marking to cutting, welding and hardening. Fiber lasers with an average power of a few hundred W are air-cooled, while higher powers require more intensive water cooling.
Typical applications for continuous fibre lasers
- Laser cutting – metals, ceramics, plastics, 2D/3D customized blanks, thin metals, reflective materials.
- Laser welding – metals, plastics.
- Laser hardening
Fiber lasers are used in the automotive, engineering, consumer, plastics, electronics, jewelry and other industries.
