Abstract
A novel compact laser utilizing thulium-based fiber chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) technology has been developed to enable essential tasks such as microwelding or the precision cutting of filaments with semiconductors such as silicon. At a central wavelength of 2 μm, the activeTwo-15 provides pulse energies exceeding 100 μJ and an average power output surpassing 15 W, and can be seamlessly integrated into systems for materials processing.
