Newest developments in diode pumped solid state lasers brought up thin disk- and fibre lasers with beam qualities in the range of M² = 10 to M² = 1 at an output power of up to 2 kW. To achieve the appropriate power density distribu-tion for material processing, the laser beam has to be transformed by a lens system. When using...$28.00

Laser cutting machines with linear motor drives provide high contour accuracy and high cutting rates. Thus laser beam cutting has become increasingly competitive compared to mechanical precision cutting [1]. Since the several years, new laser beam sources are available for cutting. One of the promising solutions is cutting with fiber las...$28.00

When using a fiber laser for the processing of copper or other high reflecting materials we have to take care of the back reflection. If we used a polarized laser with wave lengths in the range of 1 µm, it would be relatively easy to build up an optical diode to block optical feedbacks by using the Farrady isolator (rotator) or the Lambda/4 window. That system can also be used in orde...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
Due to their unique design, fiber lasers offer new possibilities in the field of laser welding. Especially their higher focusability is known to allow narrow and deep welds which help to increase weld performance and reduce heat input. But, as such beam sources are not yet common in industrial environments, their possibilities and main application fields are neither widely known nor fully assessed. Therefore typical weld parameters and applica...$28.00

Strong concern for the global environmental issues has brought dramatic growth of clean energy market since the late 1990s. In order to meet huge demand for solar energy, together with our expansion of the production of the crystalline Si solar cells and modules, we have been researching thin film silicon materials and developing solar cells and modules with these new materials.
In 2005, we started mass production of the crystalline thin film silicon based solar cells and modules. In this article, our activities for th...$28.00
