摘要: The disclosed laser system is configured with a laser source outputting light at a fundamental frequency. The output light is incident on a frequency converter operative to convert the fundamental frequency to a higher harmonic including at least one frequency converting stage. The frequency converter is based on a SrB4O7 (SBO) or PbB4O7 (PBO) nonlinear crystal configured with a plurality of domains. The domains have periodically alternating polarity of the crystal axis enabling a QPM use and formed with each with highly parallel walls which deviate from one another less than 1 micron over a 10 mm distance.

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 high power fiber laser system includes a booster winch is configured as a fiber amplifier extending over free space, pump source and laser head including a reflective element which receives pump light and reflects toward the output end of the booster in a counter signal-propagating direction. The booster is configured with concentric and coextending frustoconically shaped (“MM”) core and cladding around the core. The core includes a mode transition region expanding between small diameter SM input and large diameter MM output core ends and configured so that amplification of high order modes is substantially suppressed as a single mode (“SM”) signal light propagates from the input to output core ends. The laser head receives output ends of respective pump light delivery fibers and signal fiber, respectively. The pump source is structured with a plurality of independent sub pumps arranged around the booster. The laser head supports a segmented mirror configured to reflect pump lights from respective pump sub-sources to the output end of the booster in a counter propagating direction, wherein the booster is configured to emit the amplified signal light reaching up to MW power levels substantially in the SM.

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 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.
