Jenoptik has sold only a modest number of fiber lasers so far, perhaps a result of the restrictions placed on the company through its initial agreement with IMRA. The updated license now frees Jenoptik to sell fiber laser products for key applications including the automotive sector, where IPG has enjoyed significant recent success. Shown here is Jenoptik's JenLas CW 400 product, which delivers a 400 W output with a modulation frequency of up to 100 MHz. Credit: Jenoptik; Peugeot (table of contents image). |
