High-power single-frequency fiber lasers with diffraction-limited spots are indispensable for a wide range of photonic applications and are particularly in advanced detection and sensing technologies.

Cladding light stripper (CLS) technology addresses a major challenge in scaling thulium fiber lasers beyond their long-standing 1 kW power limit. A new self-adapting CLS design distributes heat along ...

The inventors of an unconventional, ribbon-shaped optical fiber geometry say that it could be set to drive fiber-laser power output dramatically, while maintaining beam quality. Based at the Lawrence ...

Engineers know that measuring dc or low-frequency electrical power is fairly straightforward, but such measurements become more difficult as you go up the spectrum into the tens-of-gigahertz range.

Coherent Corp. has announced the launch of its new 793nm pump laser diode, which features 28W of reliable power and 97% polarization purity, setting a new standard in laser technology. This product ...
