High-power single-mode industrial Yb fiber lasers

OZ Optics in Ottawa is offering a series of ytterbium fiber lasers for industrial, medical, and other applications. These lasers provide up to 50-watts continuous wave of near-diffraction-limited 1.08-micron laser light, which is delivered directly to the work site through a metal-shielded single-mode fiber cable terminated by a high-power connector. Optional collimators and focusers convert the output from the fiber into either a collimated beam or focused spot. Output beam diameters from 0.4 to larger than 10 millimeters in diameter can be provided, while spot sizes as small as few microns can be produced at long working distances for convenient operation. The all-fiber configuration of these lasers provides a robust, monolithic design with no optical parts to align or stabilize, no need for maintenance parts or materials, and the ability to operate under high shock, vibration, and dusty conditions. Custom configurations can be manufactured to meet unique demands. For more information contact the company online at www.ozoptics.com.
