IPG Photonics Corporation is a manufacturer of fiber lasers. [2] IPG Photonics developed and commercialized optical fiber lasers, [3] which are used in a variety of applications including materials processing, medical applications and telecommunications. [2]
A fiber laser (or fibre laser in Commonwealth English) is a laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements such as erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium, thulium and holmium. They are related to doped fiber amplifiers, which provide light amplification without lasing.
PowerLight Technologies is an American engineering firm providing power transmission via lasers.Its primary products are power-over-fiber which transmits energy in the form of laser light through an optic fiber, and "laser power beaming" in which the laser energy is transmitted through free space.
Coherent, Inc., headquartered in Santa Clara, California is an American company that develops, manufactures and supports laser equipment and related specialty components. . Coherent was founded in May 1966 by physicist James Hobart and five cofound
Laser types with distinct laser lines are shown above the wavelength bar, while below are shown lasers that can emit in a wavelength range. The height of the lines and bars gives an indication of the maximal power/pulse energy commercially available, while the color codifies the type of laser material (see the figure description for details).
A variety of Selective Laser Melting machines with laser outputs from 100 to 2800 Watt are sold, the latter distributed on four lasers. According to manufacturer specifications, the top model is the currently (April 2014) highest-performing metal 3D printer on the market and cost approximately 1.5 million euros. [1]
Trumpf manufactures carbon dioxide and solid-state lasers (disc and fiber lasers). These can be used to cut and weld metal and to mark and process surfaces with lasers. [ 38 ] The company's continuous wave, short and ultrashort pulse lasers are used, for example, in the automotive, energy, aerospace and medical technology industries.
Schematic diagram of a typical laser, showing the three major parts. A laser is constructed from three principal parts: An energy source (usually referred to as the pump or pump source), A gain medium or laser medium, and; Two or more mirrors that form an optical resonator.
