Fujikura Europe presents new 500W air-cooled CW lasers
Fujikura Europe says it is becoming “a major competitive force in the industrial laser market” with its pulsed fibre lasers and the anticipated launch of its new 500W air-cooled CW lasers. The Pulsed Fibre Laser FLP-G10 series o ers a beam quality with an M2 value of typically 1.3; the developer says it has “a proven track record with more than 6,000 lasers deployed in the field. The series is suited to deep metal engraving at high power on reflective materials, but is also competitive at lower powers too.” Simon Richardson, Head of Optics within Fujikura Europe, commented, “The key technical benefits are very
designed for a range of applications from additive manufacturing to micro- cutting and Anilox inking rolls. In addition to the lasers’ strengths of beam quality and stability, they also have bespoke fibres to eliminate stimulated Brilloiun scattering.
“Commercially, we are seeing many of the established laser manufacturers enter
the systems market, so laser systems integrators are e ectively having to purchase lasers from their competitor,” said Richardson. “We will, however, remain an independent producer of lasers. We have also recently extended our range to lower powers to provide complete choice from 20W to 75W.”

isolation performance”, he added. The company’s portfolio of miniaturized components for transceiver-embedded amplification includes hybrid- passives and uncooled 980 nm pump lasers with in-package wavelength- stabilizer technology. The mini-MTOF is expected to be generally available from June 2017. II-VI is also introducing its 25 Gb/s detector chip arrays for active optical cables and transceivers deployed in datacenters.
II-VI has announced a miniature tunable optical filter for high bit rate DWDM transmission applications. The compact filter, with a 4.8 mm profile, is designed to be embedded in transceivers with high density form factors such as CFP2 and OSFP, improving signal fidelity and reach by filtering the noise generated at the transmitter. “Beyond 100 Gb/s, tunable filters are increasingly required to maximize the optical signal to noise ratio in DWDM transceivers and Seikoh Giken announces Intelli-Cross LC Uniboot connector
