Fiber lasers are gradually favored by laser system integrators due to their advantages of high efficiency and low maintenance and operation costs. Revolutionary changes are driving the continuous development of the global laser market. With the continuous expansion of the application range of fiber lasers in the field of industrial processing, five major development trends will appear in the fiber laser industry in the next few years:
1. Shipbuilding, aerospace and other high-tech fields are developing towards higher power requirements. Driven by additive manufacturing technology and the wide application of additive manufacturing technology, higher output power has become one of the main research contents of fiber laser development. The output power of fiber lasers will develop from hundreds of watts and kilowatts to 10,000 watts. It is expected that the output power of fiber lasers will reach tens of thousands of watts by adopting higher power pump sources, more advanced special fiber design and high-power fiber combining technology. Industrial equipment equipped with high-power fiber lasers ranging from kilowatts to tens of thousands of watts will become mainstream equipment for high-end manufacturing.
2. Develop pulsed fiber lasers with high average power and high peak power In many applications of lasers, such as laser deep engraving, laser cleaning, etc., lasers with small beam quality and low power are used as seed light sources and double-clad fibers. as an amplifier. It is easy to obtain pulsed laser output with high average power and high pulse energy, which is a hot and difficult point in current industry research.
3. Development towards ultra-short pulse fiber laser In the field of laser fine processing, such as drilling of brittle materials, sapphire glass cutting, etc., ultra-fast ultra-short pulse fiber laser is required. At present, the medium and high-power ultrafast ultrashort pulse fiber laser is a research and development hotspot.
4. Towards higher brightness, high-power fiber lasers with high beam quality are in great demand in scientific research and military fields, and the main users are scientific research institutions, colleges and universities and government departments. At present, foreign developed countries regard high-power and high-power fiber lasers with high beam quality as the preferred light source for tactical laser weapons. Special requirements such as military affairs will promote the development of fiber lasers in the direction of higher brightness while increasing output power. While maintaining the output beam quality of the fiber laser.
5. Development towards modularization and intelligence In order to meet the diversified needs of the market for lasers, fiber lasers will gradually develop in the direction of serialization, combination, standardization and generalization. Utilizing limited specifications and varieties, by combining and matching different modules, shortening the new product development cycle and improving product stability and reliability. At the same time, by adopting advanced communication technology and design concept, remote diagnosis, remote maintenance, remote control and data statistics of fiber laser can be realized.
By monitoring the operating status of fiber lasers in real time, potential faults of products can be discovered and dealt with in advance, so as to provide customers with better products and services.
