When operated at 300W, the bars achieve an efficiency of about 70 per cent in the wavelengths of 1,000 and 1,020nm
Discussion topics including cladding with diode lasers, CO2 lasers in the automotive industry, nano-structured anti-reflective surfaces, and software for designing beam-splitting optics were covered in the second installment of the Lasers In Action Webinar series
Discussion topics include cladding with diode lasers, CO2 lasers in the automotive industry, nano-structured anti-reflective surfaces, and software for designing beam-splitting optics.
The first webcast in the Lasers In Action series covered blue diode lasers, automated weld monitoring and thermal laser processing.
Together with the organisers of LASYS, Laser Systems Europe will be hosting a series of webcasts in June, each of which will discuss emerging applications and technologies across various aspects of laser materials processing
The benefits of AI and machine learning in laser processing were discussed by a panel of experts at the show
Power increases across multiple laser technologies are set to bring further benefit to materials processing, Matthew Dale learnt at Photonics West
