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]
Coherent became the largest laser equipment and parts manufacturer in the world, but its operations were still unprofitable. [4] After founder James Hobart delegated management of the company, Coherent experienced numerous problems with defective products, delayed deliveries, and poor manufacturing efficiency. [ 4 ]
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.
ESI is a developer and supplier of photonic and laser systems for microelectronics manufacturers. [3] Founded in 1944, it is the oldest high-tech company in Oregon. [4] [5] Along with Tektronix, [6] and later Intel, it has spawned numerous technology-based companies in the Portland area, an area known as the Silicon Forest. [7]
An immense slab of "continuous melt" processed neodymium-doped laser glass for use on the National Ignition Facility. This is a list of laser types, their operational wavelengths, and their applications. Thousands of kinds of laser are known, but most of them are used only for specialized research.
The laser has in most firearms applications been used as a tool to enhance the targeting of other weapon systems. For example, a laser sight is a small, usually visible-light laser placed on a handgun or a rifle and aligned to emit a beam parallel to the barrel.
Laser rods (from left to right): Ruby, alexandrite, Er:YAG, Nd:YAG. A solid-state laser is a laser that uses a gain medium that is a solid, rather than a liquid as in dye lasers or a gas as in gas lasers. [1] Semiconductor-based lasers are also in the solid state, but are generally considered as a separate class from solid-state lasers, called ...
The FC connector is a fiber-optic connector with a threaded body, which was designed for use in high-vibration environments. It is commonly used with both single-mode optical fiber and polarization-maintaining optical fiber. FC connectors are used in datacom, telecommunications, measurement equipment, and single-mode lasers.
