What Makes Fiber Lasers Special and Expensive Compared to CO2 Lasers?
Introduction to Fiber Lasers Fiber lasers represent a significant advancement in laser technology, distinguished by their unique design and operational principles. A fiber laser uses an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements such as erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, or dysprosium as its active gain medium. The design of fiber lasers allows for a high degree of beam quality and energy efficiency. The light generated in the fiber core is amplified and channeled through a flexible fiber optic cable, allowing for greater control and precision. The compact nature of fiber lasers, combined with their high electrical-to-optical efficiency, makes them a preferred choice in industries that demand high precision and efficiency. Fiber lasers […]
