About the topic

Tm-based fiber lasers have emerged as a versatile platform for high-power pulse generation in the 2 µm spectral region. Recent advances in commercial 2 µm fiber laser technology are outlined, covering both ultrafast and nanosecond operation regimes.

For industrial applications, a compact and robust ultrafast 2 µm fiber laser platform has been developed with emphasis on serviceability and suitability for semiconductor processing.

In the nanosecond regime, 2 µm fiber lasers now reach up to 1 kW average power and 10 mJ pulse energy, with pulse durations ranging from 10 ns to 500 ns and high wall-plug efficiency. These results represent a significant technological milestone and underline the ongoing progress of this technology.
