OFS, a leading designer, manufacturer, and supplier of innovative fiber laser components, today announced the launch of its new 1 Kilowatt TrueMode™ Fiber Laser Cavity.
This laser cavity is a complete package with matched components that deliver 1 kilowatt of true single-mode output. Its breakthrough core architecture and fiber design extends the power capacity delivered per module. This enables customers to simplify their multi-kW system design.
The innovative package design gives customers the freedom to use the pump diode of their choice. "This optical engine's higher power capability and true single-mode design deliver near ideal splice loss capability, high efficiency and excellent beam quality", states Dr. Jerome Porque, Lead Product Development Engineer at OFS.
In addition, OFS offers a compatible TrueM2™ Beam Combiner that enables customers to combine several laser cavities needed to build multi-KW systems. "These OFS modules are expected to provide customers a reliable fiber laser technology solution. It allows customers to focus on their core competency and differentiation value as they build their own materials processing systems," states JoAnn Coyne, General Manager, OFS.
