    摘要: An ultra-high power fiber laser system includes a single-piece fiber booster configured with fiber and straight short rod fiber portions which have in common a core configured with a numerical aperture≧0.1. The rod fiber portion has a length≦a few tens of centimeters and has a frustoconical cross-section expanding from the uniformly configured fiber portion. The core extending along the fiber portion supports a single mode (SM) or very low number of HOMs, whereas the large-diameter end of the frustoconical core portion supports a fundamental mode and high order multiple modes. The disclosed booster is energized by a pump source configured to emit pump light with such a density that while amplification of the fundamental mode continues in the central area of the core, a peripheral non-overlapped area of the core is bleached. The disclosed booster emits signal light in substantially a fundamental mode.

    摘要: A clad absorber unit is provided on a passive fiber of a high power fiber laser system and operative to trap and remove high order modes propagating along the clad of the passive fiber. The mode absorber has a composition made from one or more liquid metals and alloys thereof which are placed in the opening formed in the sheath of the passive fiber. The composition is configured to remove from the cladding the MM light having a predetermined light power which heats the composition at a temperature lower than a threshold temperature at which the absorber may be damaged.

    摘要: A hand displaceable laser welding gun is configured with an elongated support column extending along a longitudinal axis and made from lightweight material. A support plate is displaceably mounted to the column while supporting thereon an optical head axially which is provided with optics. The optics is configured to direct a laser beam along a path towards a welding zone through a protective window of the optical head.The laser welding gun further is structured with a first arm mounted to the support plate and extending along a longitudinal axis of the gun diametrically opposite to the optical head. The inner surface of the displaceable arm has an inner surface defining a tunnel which is aligned with the optical head and axially traversed by the laser beam, a first axially flowing stream of pressurized gaseous medium, and a second axially flowing stream of gaseous medium. The second stream, entering the tunnel at a pressure lower than that one of the first stream in response to a pressure gradient generated in the column, does not generate vortexes within the column.The first and second streams exit through the downstream end of the tunnel next to the welding zone. As the streams flow out, they carry out welding debris flowing within the tunnel to the optical head.

    摘要: A clad absorber unit is provided on a passive fiber of a high power fiber laser system and operative to trap and remove modes propagating along the waveguide clad of the fiber. The mode absorber is configured with such an optimal length that the clad light may be removed in a localized manner, substantially uniformly removed over the entire length thereof. The absorber removing clad light in a unformed fashion includes a host material impregnated with diffusers.

    摘要: A single-mode (SM) Green fiber laser is configured to operate in a Green spectral range in a continuous-wave (CW) or quasi-continuous-wave (QCW) mode. The Green laser is configured with a pump source, outputting narrow-linewidth pump light at a fundamental wavelength in one (1) micrometer spectral range, and a single-pass second harmonic generator (SHG), such as a nonlinear LBO crystal, frequency doubling the pump light to output Green light at a signal wavelength. The pump light source is configured to have a MOPFA configuration with a SM seed which emits the SM pump light with a linewidth narrower than 0.2 nm, and at least one ytterbium (“Yb”) fiber amplifier receiving and amplifying the SM pump light at the fundamental wavelength while maintaining the linewidth narrower than 0.2 nm. The SM Green fiber laser operates with a wall plug efficiency between 15% and 30% in a 510-540 nm signal wavelength range and a power range between about 50 W and kW-levels.
