In recent years, high-power fiber laser products have made remarkable progress in “quantity”. According to the “laser pointer Industry Development Report”, the shipment of fiber lasers above 1500 watts accounted for approximately 34.5% of the total shipments in 2018. It is expected that the shipments of high-power lasers in 2019 will exceed imported lasers. However, it…

Features and application advantages of high-power fiber laser pointer
1. The advantages of high-power fiber lasers At present, the continuous output power of commercial fiber laser pointer has risen to the order of several kilowatts or even 10,000 watts. Compared with general lasers, fiber lasers have many unique advantages, such as good beam quality; small size, light weight, and maintenance-free; wind cooling, simple and easy to…
Heat-affected zone for better laser pointer processing quality
Collect the back reflection light in the isolator and monitor it with a photodiode. The real-time output of the sensor is provided to the user for use in process monitoring, optimization and control (such as perforation detection), or tool calibration (such as beam position and focus). Other characteristics of laser pointer outlined include improved cutting and welding…
Kilowatt fiber laser technology has matured
Fiber lasers combine active (laser gain) fiber with one or more pump lasers (usually laser diodes). There are many types of fiber laser pointer, including low-power continuous (CW) lasers, low-energy and high-energy pulsed lasers, including ultrafast fiber lasers. But when it comes to fiber lasers, many people may think of only kilowatt continuous fiber lasers. This…
The power-driven laser pointer has many advantages
The Navy uses expensive weapons and ammunition to strike back at targets—they are incoming missiles, small assault boats, and coastal defense systems—even if these targets are destroyed, it will only cost the enemy very little. Said at a seminar at the Marshall Institute. “This is not an affordable game. If you need to continue this…
The U.S. military studies the use of laser pointers against missiles
The US “National Defense” magazine published an article by Dan Parsons, briefly introducing the US military (mainly the Navy) is studying the use of various low-cost laser pointer to counter enemy missiles and other weapons. In order to maintain its technological superiority, the U.S. military has invested more money in this area than any other country’s military….
Laser power monitoring to improve process stability
The applications of laser systems in industrial processes include cutting, welding and marking. The power of the laser system should be carefully adjusted to ensure the quality and repeatability of the processing results. Some parts may not need too low power for cutting. At the same time, too high power laser systems may create rough…
Research on Laser Pointer Compound Heat Source Welding Technology
(1) Laser welding of alloy-strengthened metals can easily form low-melting eutectic due to solidified crystals, such as high-strength aluminum alloys; (2) The dynamic instability of the small holes in the laser pointer welding process is likely to cause the weld pores; (3) The size of the laser spot is small, which requires high assembly accuracy of the…
The object of future laser pointer welding technology application
At present, the United States, Europe and other developed countries have issued national plans in the field of military manufacturing to promote the research and application of advanced laser pointer welding technology. European Airbus is the first aerospace manufacturing company to use laser welding structure instead of traditional riveting structure for the connection of aircraft aluminum alloy…
In 2021 will be equipped with high-energy laser pointer weapons against drones
Foreign media reported that the US Navy plans to install high-energy lasers and integrated optical blind surveillance weapons (HELIOS) systems on the Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA destroyers deployed on the west coast of the United States by 2021. It is understood that the HELIOS system can emit 60 kilowatts of laser pointer, which is three times…
