Research on Key Technologies of High-Power Ytterbium-Doped Double-Clad Fiber Lasers
High-power lasers have a wide range of applications in various fields, including laser material processing, large-scale laser displays, remote sensing technology, medical, military, and fundamental scientific research. High-power lasers generally refer to devices with extremely high output power, which is typically defined as several kilowatts or hundreds of watts of output power. These lasers have demonstrated significant advantages in industrial applications, such as laser cutting, welding, and marking.
Introduction to the Principles of IPG High-Power Fiber Lasers
The development of high-power lasers can be traced back to the 1960s when the first ruby solid-state laser was created. Since then, laser technology has seen a leap from milliwatts to megawatts.尽管 significant advancements have been made in continuous wave mode, the power output at room temperature is still limited. Currently, high-power lasers come in various types, including solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, gas lasers, chemical lasers, and free-electron lasers, among others。
