In recent years the interest in laser welding and laser additive manufacturing has risen, often using high power lasers with 100 W to multi-kW power range. While theoretically higher laser power enables increased process speed, in practice there are often process physics limits to the improvement. For additive manufacturing, this limit is the need to maintain … Continue reading
Picosecond laser glass cutting has emerged as a cutting-edge technology, revolutionizing the precision glass-cutting industry. The increasing demand for laser glass cutting for a variety of industries (from displays through cellular devices to structural glass) is pushing an expansion in the picosecond-laser, machine-builder business, due to the advantages of using ultra-short-pulsed lasers for smooth sidewalls … Continue reading
The field of laser medical aesthetic applications has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, offering transformative solutions for skin resurfacing, tattoo removal, and blemish treatment. Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs) have emerged as crucial components in shaping and manipulating laser light, driving these advancements. This article delves into DOE medical applications, with a particular focus on … Continue reading
With the increasing demand for high power, high brightness laser beams in security applications, such as missile interception, and heavy industrial applications, such as welding and cutting, the need for a multi-kilowatt solid-state laser solution becomes acute. However, the output power of a single fiber laser is limited by the nonlinear and thermal effects that … Continue reading
Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are the way to get better results in picosecond laser skin treatment according to a recent article, entitled “Diffractive micro-lens array (DLA) for uniform and selective picosecond laser treatment.” The researchers found that compared to a regular micro-lens array, diffractive beam splitters and diffractive lens arrays provide better uniformity and penetration of … Continue reading
What are high power ZnSe beam splitters? High power CO2 lasers are highly useful in multiple applications, including marking and perforation of textiles, paper, and plastics; skin treatments; and even glass welding. With increasing laser power, such laser systems can no longer be point-by-point scanned at sufficient speed to fully utilize the laser energy, requiring … Continue reading
