In addition, Germany’s TRUMPF acquired British fiber laser manufacturer SPI and British JK Laser Company and successfully entered the field of high-power fiber lasers; the US JDSU company and Japanese metal processing machine tool manufacturer Amada jointly developed fiber lasers with a power of up to 4kW; the United States nLight Corporation Acquired Finnish specialty optical fiber manufacturer LIEKKI. It can be foreseen that competition in the high-power fiber green laser pointer industry is intensifying.
China is the world’s largest industrial green laser pointers market, accounting for 24% of the global market. Not only foreign companies have taken China as an important strategic market, but local companies have also accumulated a lot of money, and the localization process has accelerated. There are more than 20 local brands, and in the fierce competition with foreign brands, they continue to innovate and break through, find suitable market segments, and continue to develop. The major domestic suppliers of fiber lasers include Ruike Laser and Chuangxin Laser, both of which have a performance of more than 400 million yuan, forming a double leader in the development of the industry; Jeep has consolidated its industry position with MOPA lasers. It has developed rapidly. Among them, Zhongke Guanghui has 6KW products in continuous laser. Other brands including Shanghai Feibo, Wuhan Anyang, Guoshen Optoelectronics, 46, Orient Laser, Outer Laser, etc. have developed well.
However, we still need to clearly understand that from the perspective of the production capacity and market share of fiber lasers, China has made great breakthroughs in scale, but the quality of domestic fiber lasers still has a large gap compared with similar foreign products. At the same time, 80% of high-power optical fiber green laser pointers need to rely on imports, and universities and research institutes have strong R & D capabilities. How to seamlessly link scientific research results with enterprise production is a question worthy of our deep consideration.
