Development trend of fiber laser

The development trend of fiber laser mainly includes the following aspects：

1.Higher Power: Driven by the demand in high-tech fields such as shipbuilding and aerospace, and the widespread application of additive manufacturing technology, the output power of fiber lasers will evolve from hundreds of watts to kilowatts, and even tens of thousands of watts. By adopting higher-power pump sources, more advanced special fiber designs, and high-power fiber beam combining technology, industrial equipment equipped with kilowatt to tens-of-thousands-of-watt high-power fiber lasers will become the mainstream devices in advanced manufacturing.

2.High average power, high peak power pulsed fiber lasers: For applications such as laser engraving and laser cleaning, high average power, high peak power pulsed fiber lasers are required. Using high beam quality, low-power lasers as seed sources and double-clad fibers as amplifiers to achieve high average power, high pulse energy pulsed laser output is currently a hot and challenging area of research in the industry.

3.Ultra-short pulse fiber lasers: In the field of laser precision machining, such as drilling brittle materials and cutting sapphire glass, there is an urgent need for ultra-fast ultra-short pulse fiber lasers. Currently, medium to high-power ultra-fast ultra-short pulse fiber lasers are the focus of research and development to achieve more precise and efficient material processing.

4.Higher Brightness: High-power fiber lasers with high beam quality are in high demand in scientific research and military fields. Developed countries abroad prioritize high-power fiber lasers with high beam quality as the preferred light source for tactical laser weapons. Special needs in military applications will drive fiber lasers to develop towards higher power while also enhancing brightness, meaning improving output power while maintaining the quality of the emitted beam.

5.Modularization and Intelligence: To meet the diverse market demands for lasers, fiber lasers will gradually move towards series production, combination, standardization, and generalization. By combining and pairing different modules, the new product development cycle can be shortened, and the stability and reliability of products can be improved. At the same time, by adopting advanced communication technologies and design concepts, remote diagnosis, remote maintenance, remote control, and data statistics can be achieved. Through real-time monitoring of the operating status of fiber lasers, potential faults can be identified and addressed in advance, providing better product services to customers.

In the future, Junyi laser will also strive to develop in this trend, and develop more fiber laser machines that meet the market demand.
