  • Abstract
    Although research work on new types of laser is ongoing, the development of optical fiber lasers commenced relatively recently. However, the commercially available maximum output power has already reached 20 kW, significantly exceeding that of CO4 lasers. Optical fiber lasers with outputs of several kilowatts are adequate for industrial metal processing.
