Jenoptik's Femtosecond Laser JenLas® D2.fs for Precise Micro-Processing and Medical Technology.
Jenoptik has improved the laser parameters of the JenLas® D2.fs. The pulse repetition rate has been increased to over 500 kilohertz and the output power by 25 percent. Thereby the laser has retained its superb pulse and beam characteristics as well as its stability. Furthermore, the advantages of the thin-disk laser are preserved, namely very short pulses combined with high pulse energy. The combination of the higher pulse repetition rate and increased output power means more throughput and faster processing for industrial use. This enhanced productivity provides the user with decisive technological and economical advantages.
Another feature of the diode-pumped JenLas® D2.fs is the exceptional flexibility of the laser parameters. Variable power levels and pulse repetition rates can be set according to the application requirements. Special attention has been paid to ensure a simple integration of the JenLas® D2.fs into laser machines and laser systems. This means that, if required, the laser can be parameterized using software or hardware. Before shipping, various tests and checks are performed to ensure reliable functioning of the laser in typical usage, storage, and transport conditions.
Jenoptik’s femtosecond laser can be used in micro-processing as well as medical applications, where minimal thermal heat input and excellent cutting quality are of advantage. Examples for such applications are cutting in the stent manufacturing, precision drilling of injectors, and the processing of displays.
Cutting and Welding of Metallic Materials with Jenoptik’s 1 Kilowatt Fiber Laser.
At Photonics West 2013, Jenoptik shows its JenLas® fiber cw 1000 fiber laser with an output power of 1000 Watt. The introduction of this OEM laser will further expand the range of the outstanding lasers, offered by Jenoptik’s Lasers & Material Processing division for use in industrial material processing.
The JenLas® fiber cw 1000 guarantees high productivity and impressive processing quality, especially during cutting and welding of metallic materials of different thicknesses and geometries. A deep understanding of every level of laser technology combined with a broad experience in the relevant applications guarantees an easy and flexible integration of Jenoptik’s lasers into the respective processes of the companies’ clients worldwide.
The advantages of laser welding with a fiber laser compared to conventional mechanical or chemical processes such as gluing, soldering, or hot plate welding are flexibility and speed. The welded joints made by fiber lasers are extremely strong and components even with unusual dimensions can be processed quickly and reliably. The non-contact laser cutting and laser welding with JenLas® fiber cw 1000 offers the operator new possibilities and perspectives.
Besides the femtosecond laser JenLas® D2.fs and the fiber laser JenLas® fiber cw 1000, also proven Jenoptik products and further developments from the Lasers & Material Processing, Optical Systems and Defense & Civil Systems divisions will be presented to the trade show visitors.
