Fiber Optics: From ‘Piping Light’ to All-Optical CommunicationsMay 2016Fiber Optics: From ‘Piping Light’ to All-Optical Communications
IPG Photonics recently developed an innovative fiber optics-based GLPN-500-R laser, which combination of single-mode beam quality, short wavelength, short pulse duration and higher power allow exploration of new applications. A year after the Prism Award win, IPG has continued to enhance the laser architecture and optimize its components, resulting in a significant reduction in form factor.
