Only 10 years ago, the only commercially available high-power, fibre-delivered laser was the lamp-pumped Nd:YAG rod laser. Today however, diode-pumped Nd:YAG rod lasers, thin-disc Yb:YAG and Yb-fibre lasers are also available for material processing. This means that today's laser user needs to consider parameters such as beam quality and power density (and possibly others), in addition to the actual technology used in generating the laser beam, when se...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2005
Latest developments in laser physics have made available high-power fibre lasers with beam powers up to 17 kW and single mode fibre lasers with several 100 W at excellent beam quality. Adding to these properties their high energetic efficiency, their considerable estimated lifetime and their compact size, they might well be considered to be a viable alternative to both conventional lamp- or diode-pumped Nd:YAG- as well as to CO2-Lasers.

Aluminum alloys are very popular in the industrial world as structural materials, mainly due to their high strength to weight ratio. Unfortunately, due to their material properties, aluminum alloys are some of the hardest metals to be laser welded successfully and very high laser power is usually required. In this study, we explore the capability of using a 300 W fiber laser for high speed aluminum...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2005
NIST has been tasked by DARPA to provide wall plug efficiency and spectral measurements of high-power high-efficiency laser diodes and arrays for DARPA?s Super High Efficiency Diode Sources (SHEDS) program. To meet the needs for this project, the Optoelectronics Division has developed a new laboratory at NIST to measure electrical power, optical power, wavelength and line width, and junction temperature for lasers supplied by project participants. We describe a novel flowing-water optical power meter (FWOPM) that we have developed to meet the u...$28.00

By incorporating a transverse Bragg grating into a large-area laser, the optical modes of the laser can be designed to improve the efficiency compared to traditional index-guided lasers. The resulting transverse Bragg resonance (TBR) waveguide can be designed to have a single lateral mode that is distributed throughout t...$28.00
