Fiber Lasers
Unlike a conventional laser which is constructed from components such as mirrors, rods and lenses a fiber laser is an all bulk material device. The laser rod is effectively substituted by a length of doped active fiber several metres long. The rest of the components are also all fiber devices each of which are spliced together to form a laser resonator. An immediate advantage of this is that there is no need for alignment, adjustment or subsequent cleaning of optical surfaces once the laser has been built, which means little or no maintenance requirement. |
Our JK™ Fiber Lasers can be supplied with patented Luminator™ fiber-delivery options, laser processing tools and scanheads. These ensure safe and reliable 3D manipulation of the laser beam and high-performance materials interaction at the workpiece. The JK™ Fiber Laser range includes both rack-mountable and OEM units, offering both air and water-cooled options.
