High-power lasers and their basics and features

The major position in laser processing field is rightly being given to the high-power fiber laser thanks to such quite qualities as high beam quality, energy efficiency, space efficiency, stability, and reliability. The fiber laser is a laser that uses an optical fiber as the active medium, which is usually has a rare-earth-doped core. The major active element used in the fiber lasers for material processing is ytterbium. this element provides light absorption (available for pumping) at wavelengths of 900-1000 nm, and fluorescence that causes laser oscillation lies at 1000-1100 nm.
Over the last decade, the performance advanced in high-power fiber lasers have been particularly impressive. It is making high-power fiber lasers a successful, fast increasing commercial business currently worth $800 M/year, with a compound annual growth rate of about 13%, which is the highest among the different laser technologies. The fiber technology has grown quite diverse and mature and can provide an excellent platform for fabricating result, high-performance laser systems. The core and cladding structures can be tailored appropriately to control the bean modality, optical nonlinearities, and such-up the power.
High-power fiber lasers are much more progressive and promising than traditional lasers using solids or gases as the active medium in many aspects. In order to ensure the high beam quality of fiber lasers, it is necessary to select the appropriate core diameter and difference of relative refractive indices, which can reduce the number of transverse modes. The CO2 laser also provides the high beam quality. In addition to this, fiber lasers and fiber laser systems based on a thin optical fiber with a diameter of several hundred micrometers as an active medium can easily be cooled and therefore attains high power output while maintaining the laser beam quality. Also, high-power fiber lasers have very low loss of pump and laser light because they are both confined and guided in the low-loss fiber core. The high quantum efficiency of ytterbium serving as the active element leads to 60-70% efficiency in energy conversion from pump light to laser light. In virtue of these factors, laser systems on the basis of the optical fiber achieve a high output power with a high energy conversion efficiency while maintaining a high beam quality. Owing to the very high energy conversion efficiency and a resonator consisting of fine fiber and small optical components, high-power fiber lasers have a far smaller heat dissipation mechanism and power supply, and thus far smaller overall dimensions and weight than traditional high-power lasers. Also, it should be noted, such lasers constructed by fusion-splicing optical fibers are not influenced by vibration, shock, or temperature changes, and therefore have stable output power and stable high beam quality. Besides the above-mentioned factors, high-power fiber lasers are practically maintenance-free due to the fact that the paths of the beam are not exposed to the atmosphere.

Ultrafast lasers offer a great chance as an innovative manufacturing tool for the future of science and technology

The truly unique and promising characteristics of the ultrafast pulsed lasers have opened up new opportunities for processing special materials: It means the materials that use ultrashort pulse widths and extremely high peak intensities. The ultrafast pulsed lasers are beginning to be used more often for both fundamental research and practical applications at the present time.The laser manufacturing market is currently expected to exceed $17 billion in value by 2020 and grow at a rate of about 6 percent for the next five years. This fast steady increase is due to wide use in various parts of the science world, including aerospace, automotive, and biomedical. Nowadays conventional fiber laser techniques that commonly use nanosecond and longer pulses are hopelessly outdated: they are replaced by materials processing with the ultrafast lasers. The aforementioned fiber lasers can be used for working with such materials that require special conditions where the thermal influence must be minimized, for example during the drilling metals and cutting wafers, polymeric stents, and display glass. The companies that manufacture lasers produce more and more the ultrafast lasers (also known is ultra-short pulse): picosecond and femtosecond fiber lasers. Such ultrafast laser systems have the temporal pulse (the amount of time the laser light is in contact with the material) is three to six orders of magnitude shorter than conventional fiber lasers.

  • Picosecond fiber lasers emit optical pulses between 1 ps and some tens of picoseconds.
  • A femtosecond fiber laser emits optical pulses with a duration well below 1 ps.

The quality comparison between picosecond and femtosecond lasers is material-dependent. It can be very subtle or very apparent in different instances. The femtosecond ultrashort pulsed laser is clear choice when the absolute best quality is needed but, it should be noted, the picosecond ultrafast fiber lasers tend to machine faster.
Ultrafast lasers offer a great chance as an innovative manufacturing tool for the future of science and technologyUltrafast laser processing has fundamentally changed the way of materials microprocessing with fiber lasers. Ultrafast fiber laser has become a micromachining tool for various materials including metals, semiconductors, ceramic, glass, crystals, polymers and even soft materials like biotissues. An addition to this, such scientific ultrafast laser systems have also been employed for several practical and industrial applications. These fiber lasers are now also used in the electronics industry for scribing, patterning and texturing of glass and semiconductor.
As devices become smaller and more complex, laser machining will have to continue to push the edges of performance. Now we already know that the ultrashort pulsed lasers can produce nanoscale holes. By the same token, such fiber-optic laser systems can deliver a very precise concentration of light over such short duration. This feature helps to avoid heat damage occurs to the surrounding material and makes such ultrafast lasers irreplaceable for machining heat-sensitive biomaterials.

Ultraviolet Lasers and Their Potential in Science and Technology

Ultraviolet laser products are primarily intended for use in advanced studies and development in the industrial sphere. Ultraviolet lasers and optical emitters are used in biotechnology and medical markets to create such special tools like sterilization and dezinfectant devices. UV lasers offer to developers huge opportunities based on a noncontact method of producing microstructures on micro substances on different substances with a minimal effect on surrounding materials. The aforementioned lasers generate light with wavelengths in the range from 150 to 400 nm.
Ultraviolet Lasers and Their Potential in Science and TechnologyUltraviolet lasers are well suited for micro-scale applications. What makes UV lasers so applicable for micro-drilling and micro-structuring or for marking synthetics and glass and for creating safety features on ID or credit cards? Firstly, their short wavelength allows them to create small focused spot sizes. Secondly, short pulse width and high-intensity result in the material removal (every pulse removes only a small amount of material) allow to produce well-defined microstructures. The beam intensity is so high that the material is removed in the vapor phase in a process called ablation. Ablation can be characterized as a process of the material removal, the end result of which is a clean surface. And thirdly, the short wavelength is important because small focused spot sizes allow penetration into the material where chemical and physical transitions will result in changes of the material. Such changes can be observed either by the naked eye or under the special light or proper magnification.
There are three main types of UV lasers:

  1. Solid-state Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. A special crystal in this laser is used to change the infrared 1064 nm wavelength to the ultraviolet 353 nm wavelength. The beam shape is Gaussian so the spot of the ultraviolet laser of this type will be round with the intensity of energy falling off gradually form the center to the edge. These ultraviolet lasers are sensitive to temperature variations. Such lasers have a special standby condition where all critical components are kept at the operation temperature. Due to the fact that such lasers are equipped with the high repetition rate and the small focused spot they are well suited for machining on a micro scale.
  2. An excimer laser typically uses a combination of a noble gas and a reactive gas. The beam generated shape isn’t round but has a rectangular shape with a more or less constant distribution of the intensity over the cross section of the beam that falls off sharply at the edges.
  3. A metal vapor laser. The copper vapor laser is commonly used although vapors of several other metals also be suitable. Such UV lasers generate radiation at 511 nm and 578 nm wavelength. The beam shape is Gaussian so the metal vapor laser is appropriate for the same range of applications like the solid-state ultraviolet laser.

The most important type of high power ultraviolet laser for industrial application is the excimer laser. Available wavelengths include 351, 308, 248, 193 and 157 nm. The largest commercially available excimer lasers generate up to 200 W stabilized average power and up to 700 mJ pulse energy at 308 nm. The main advantages of this laser are a physical compactness, high reliability and durability. According to the forecasts, UV lasers will be widely used in an expanding range of applications with their recent improvements in performance, cost of ownership and with their increasing reliability. Ultraviolet lasers have already found various applications at the present time:

  • pulsed high power ultraviolet lasers can be used for efficient cutting and drilling of holes in a variety of materials
  • continuous wave UV lasers are required for microlithography (for instance, in the context of semiconductor chip manufacturing)
  • Pulsed and CW UV lasers are irreplaceable for fabricating fiber Bragg gratings
  • UV and even deep-UV lasers are required in refractive laser eye surgery of the cornea and in other medical applications

etc.

Development and Application of Fiber Lasers in Medical Sector

Development and Application of Fiber Lasers in Medical SectorIn recent years important progress has been made in the development of fiber-optic technologies in general and in particular in the developments related to the fiber lasers. Fiber-optic lasers are compact and reliable — and for now, they are used more and more in surgical procedures in such areas as diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical medical activities. Optical fiber lasers have a large number of unique features like great flexibility, convenience and reliability in surgical applications. The thing is that the fiber’s waveguiding properties supply single-mode operation that creates excellent diffraction-limited beam quality. This is especially useful in microsurgery and nanosurgery because it provides high resolution of the focusing spot.
Fiber-optic lasers allow the light to be easily integrated into endoscopes, microscopes and other surgical devices. Also many fiber lasers have a wall-plug efficiency of around 30 percent while some thulium fiber lasers have a wall-plug efficiency of around 12 percent. Combine this with the supple nature of fiber, which can be bent and coiled into a space about the size of a shoebox, and fiber lasers become portable, which is critical for emergency surgery.
Fiber-optic lasers typically comprise a single-mode fiber core doped with erbium, ytterbium (or their combination) or thulium. The optical fiber itself in fiber-optic lasers is the resonator cavity. Energy is coupled into the fiber’s cladding from a solid-stay source, then moves into the core and pumps the dopant. Such optical fiber lasers have significant advantages over other types of lasers like higher efficiency, wider tunability and better beam quality which, as a result, contribute to the fact that these lasers widen the utility of lasers in general for medical applications.
The targeted nature of the laser beam is attractive to many surgeons who work in a variety of fields. Fiber sources can access hard-to-reach areas of the body and deliver targeted cutting, ablating or cauterizing while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues.
At the moment the market of the medical equipment is filling up with fiber-optic lasers which has an all-femto single-step system. Such lasers allow to correct vision without having to create a flap in the cornea and to perform and to perform corneal transplant procedures and intracorneal ring implantation.
With different groundbreaking developments in the sphere of fiber-optic lasers, the scientists have been efficacious in gaining long-ranging applications of fiber lasers in the medical sector. Optical fiber lasers are actively used in dental implementation and ophthalmology to aesthetic properties such as skin rejuvenation, body contouring and hair removal.
Optromix is a fiber laser manufacturer that uses our own technologies based on the advanced research work and patents of international R&D team. Fiber-optic lasers provide high beam quality, high precision and easily-automated manufacturing solutions.

Pulsed and Continuous Wave (CW) Green Fiber Lasers

A large-scale green fiber lasers production allows to serve new markets and applications in an increasing number. Now it’s possible to visually trace a high-energy particle flows in gases and to further characterize them with the help of powerful green lasers. Green fiber lasers can also be used for a photoacoustic measurements of hemoglobin.
Today many scientists believe that pulsed green fiber lasers are much more productive and compact than other available lasers. The pulsed green fiber lasers  supply a high peak power with an average output of 10W, which can be scaled. Higher powers of Optromix’s lasers, it should be noted, are in the works. Such lasers possess a pulse duration of just 1 ns and  frequency of 50 to 600 kHz also it includes, featuring M2 of less than 1.2, a collimator and narrow line width at 532 nm.
In addition to pulsed green fiber lasers, there are continuous wave (CW) lasers. The CW-lasers emit a continuous or, in other words, permanent laser beam with a controlled heat output. By dint of the CW-lasers it becomes possible to control a heat output, as beam duration or intensity. The CW-lasers especially are typical tools in semiconductor researches, because through their use laser beams can be directed in a port in the spectrometer directly onto the sample. Such CW-lasers are available for use with a wide diversity of fiber terminations, collimation optics and processing heads.

High Power Fiber Lasers

When the first fiber laser systems were developed, they were relegated to low power milliwatt applications. Early fiber lasers were mainly used in communications, but did not have applications in material processing as they could not be scaled to the powers needed for this industry. Due to an increase in interest in the fiber optic technology and rapid developments of fiber lasers, such as ytterbium fiber lasers, the efficiency of tens of kilowatts are now possible. As the technology continues to develop, the initial cost of the fiber laser system declines, which led to fiber lasers offering the lowest price per watt with the highest beam quality, resulting in a quickly growing market share in material processing applications.
Fiber lasers are lasers that utilize an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements as an active medium. Erbium, ytterbium and neodymium are some of the most commonly used rare-earth elements in fiber lasers, like ytterbium-doped fiber lasers and erbium-doped fiber lasers. These elements have a useful energy level configuration that allows for a cheaped diode laser pump source to be used to excite medium, e.g. erbium can absorb photons at 980 nm, which then decays to a meta-stable state at 1550 nm.
A diode laser pump source is convenient due to the multiple advantages that it provides: it is cheap, efficient and can be stacked. High-power fiber lasers are advantageous to many industries, especially material processing that includes laser cutting, laser engraving, laser welding, etc. There is no need to couple the laser output to a fiber in order to direct it where it needs to go as the lasing is occuring in the fiber. Therefore, the need for complicated optical setup is removed. The laser output of the fiber lasers is high quality – it is very straight and doesn’t spread out – as it is being created in a relatively confined area of the core. The power of the laser beam is confined to a small spot size, which is important for material processing applications. Moreover, high power fiber lasers are efficient with 70-80% power conversion,  which implies fiber lasers are easy to cool as not a lot of energy is lost to heat compared to other high power lasers. High power fiber lasers have a long operating life of around 1 million hours, high peak power and long pulse duration; these characteristics are essential for high-speed marking and cutting applications.
Optromix is a fiber laser manufacturer that develops cutting-edge laser systems and new fiber optic technologies. We produce unique fiber laser scientific systems and specialize in single frequency fiber laser products. We manufacture lasers using our own technologies based on the advanced research work and patents of international R&D team.
