What Does a Fiber Laser Do?

Fiber lasers are everywhere in the modern world. Due to the different wavelengths, they can generate, they are widely used in industrial environments to perform cutting, marking, welding, cleaning, texturing, drilling and a lot more. They are also used in other fields such as telecommunication and medicine.

Compared to gas lasers or solid-state lasers, essential advantages of fiber lasers include:

ㆍExcellent beam quality (light-concentrating beam from optical fiber)

ㆍSimple, compact, electrically and optically efficient (small footprint and low power consumption by fiber amplification)

ㆍCompatible powerful and reliable (realized by high brightness, high power semiconductor lasers as pumping light)

ㆍMaintenance-free (the entire optical fiber setup without lenses, mirrors)
