چکیده
wood-cutting performance of a 1 kW ytterbium fibre laser-a recent, compact, flexible, efficient laser system. The cutting process is characterized, taking as a reference the effects of the principal process factors. A quantification of energy consumption during the cutting process, critical for scale-up, is provided.

The laser cutting of wood is a multi-factor process and correct combination of the parameters involved is needed to achieve high quality and optimum process efficiency. In this paper a design of experiments and statistical modelling approach is used to investigate the significant process parameters by consideration of ...
متن کاملModeling of CW Yb-doped fiber lasers with highly nonlinear cavity dynamics.
We develop a theoretical framework for modeling of continuous wave Yb-doped fiber lasers with highly nonlinear cavity dynamics. The developed approach has shown good agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental results for particular scheme of Yb-doped laser with large spectral broadening during single round trip. The model is capable to accurately describe main features of the ex...
متن کاملSelf-pulsing Dynamics in Yb-doped Fiber Lasers
There is worldwide considerable interest in the study and development of high-power Yb-doped continuous wave (CW) and pulsed fiber lasers for various material processing applications. Although it appears to be trivial to generate high-power CW output from Yb-doped CW fiber lasers by pumping with high-power CW laser diodes; however, it is not so easy to generate truly CW output without amplitude...
متن کاملMulti-watts narrow-linewidth all fiber Yb-doped laser operating at 1179 nm.
An all-fiber, narrow-linewidth, high power Yb-doped silica fiber laser at 1179 nm has been demonstrated. More than 12 W output power has been obtained, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 43% with respect to launched pump power, by core-pumping at 1090 nm. In order to increase the pump absorption, the Yb-doped fiber was heated up to 125 degrees C. At the maximum output power, the suppression...

A compact tunable 10 W picosecond source based on Yb-doped fiber amplification of gain switch laser diode has been demonstrated. A gain switch semiconductor laser diode was used as the seed source, and a multi-stage single mode Yb-doped fiber preamplifier was combined with two large mode area double-clad Yb-doped fiber main amplifiers to construct the amplification system. The tunable pulses wi...
