Southampton Photonics Demos 600 W from Fiber Laser
Jun 23, 2003 — MUNICH, Germany, June 23 -- Southampton Photonics Inc. (SPI) and the Optoelectronics Research Centre, University of Southampton, England, have demonstrated over 600 W from a single fiber laser. The team said these are the highest powers reported to date with a single fiber gain module, and that it demonstrates cladding-pumped fiber lasers can produce the high powers needed to compete with more traditional laser technology, in applications such as remote welding, by offering high powers that...
