IPG Photonics’ YLPN-M nanosecond ytterbium fiber laser modules provide average output power up to 500 W and adjustable pulse waveforms in the range of 20-500 ns. The lasers are triggered externally in a wide range of pulse repetition rates 2-4000 kHz, offering pulse energy of up to 2 mJ and the ability to scale average power independent of the energy. An output isolator ensures high output power stability and allows to process highly reflective materials.
IPG’s YLPN-M lasers are small air-cooled maintenance-free modules designed for OEM applications. The robust all fiber design packaged into a rugged case allows operation in harsh industrial environments. The all fiber format allows for the adjustment of peak power and/or pulse repetition rate without affecting any of the output beam parameters. This fiber laser is much more efficient and compact than conventional lasers on the market. Fine processing of thin foils and coating as well as treatment of surfaces is easy to adjust using wide range of operating parameters. It is ideal for applications in micromachining, scribing, texturing, ablation, the solar/photovoltaic arena, hole drilling, resistor trimming and marking.
