Nanosecond Fiber Lasers

IPG’s nanosecond fiber lasers are ideal for industrial

applications from laser ablation, marking, trimming,

scribing, micro-machining, diamond and silicon

cutting, to high speed hole drilling. They feature

low divergence and can provide the fluence

required for high speed marking of both

plastics and metals, including highly

reflective materials. High power

lasers are optimized for surface

treatment applications. From UV

to Mid-IR, from a few Watts to

multiple kW power, the versatility

of IPG's pulsed fiber lasers

is unparalleled.

Nanosecond fiber lasers with good beam quality are excellent for marking and microprocessing/ micromachining applications. The introduction several years ago by IPG Photonics of low average power nanosecond fiber lasers for general purpose marking has led to a sea-change in the laser industry with almost every supplier of laser marking systems switching over to this type of fiber laser. A range of lasers from 10 W up to 500 W

  

average power and with both fixed (from 1 ns to 500 ns) and variable programmable pulse durations are now available.

Higher power pulsed fiber lasers with larger beam divergence are optimized for surface area treatment applications.  The range of average powers is from 100 W to 5 kW, the pulse energy is up to 100 mJ, and the beam spot size is optimized for high throughput.

IPG Q-switched fiber lasers have several distinct advantages over DPSS bulk lasers:

  • no thermal lensing
  • easy to change pulse temporal waveforms
  • excellent pointing stability
  • high energy efficiency
  • exceptionally long pump diode lifetime
  • rugged design
  • low cost

Bulk DPSS lasers are characterized by intrinsic thermal lensing in the crystal that requires their design to be optimized around a limited range of pulse repetition rates and pulses energies. Changing these parameters over a wider range is usually not possible, as this would lead to a laser misalignment. Adjustments of pulse repetition rate and pulse 

  

energy even over a narrow range affects beam mode quality parameters such as divergence, astigmatism and M2. On the contrary, the absence of thermal lensing in fiber lasers allows user to change pulse repetition rate and pulse duration in a very wide range without affecting beam mode parameters. This allows the user to freely choose optimal parameters for each and every application.

The absence of thermal lensing in fiber lasers also facilitates adjustments of pulse duration/ pulse waveforms. The ability to adjust pulse durations by selecting the appropriate pre-programmed pulse length / pulse frequency combination brings the ultimate flexibility in achieving optimal results in many applications.

Fiber lasers are by their very nature fiber delivered, this is not only more convenient than free space delivery, but also comes with exceptionally good pointing stability. While fiber-coupling bulk DPSS lasers is possible, it leads to significant losses in average power and power stability.
