Fibre lasers gain
upgraded beam collimator
Southampton Photonics has launched a second generation beam collimator for its redPower range of CWM fibre lasers
Southampton Photonics has launched a second generation beam collimator for its redPower range of CWM fibre lasers (10-100W). The new collimator will be fitted to all lasers in the current product range sold from the start of 2005 and the higher power lasers currently in development. This novel solution is the result of extensive market research and customer trials activity throughout the second half of 2004.

Fibre laser claims record output power
Southampton Photonics and the University of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre have produced more than 1kW output in a high-quality beam from a single-fibre laser
The beam delivery optic is the most advanced of its type, allowing reliable management of on-axis applications where highly reflective materials are processed.
New features include a fibre break detector, sophisticated thermal management and heat cutout protection system and an improved M2 to typical values less than 1.1.
In addition, it is the smallest in its class offering many advantages to the user.
The total package sise is some 34% smaller than the model it replaces.
John Tinson, SPI's Vice President of Sales, commented: 'The engineering team has surpassed itself with the speed and outcome of this development'.
'A tough specification was set at the outset of the project and they have beaten their targets in almost every area'.
'SPI will be launching many new fibre laser products during 2005, starting with Photonics West and I'm sure our customers will welcome this feature-rich addition to the range'.
