Buying High-power Fiber Lasers and Amplifiers
Fiber lasers and amplifiers, particularly those based on Yb-doped double-clad fibers, can efficiently produce light with high output powers and high beam quality. The emission may be continuous or in the form of short pulses. These devices are widely used in industrial applications, including materials processing and communications.
