18 Dec 2008 Multimode, step index optical fiber offer most efficient flexible delivery of high power laser beam. Selection of the appropriate fiber type is an important consideration because the characteristics of the output beam will enhance or degrade the utility of the fiber optic delivered beam for different applications. The fiber optic delivery system allows the laser beam to be transmitted in a
small, flexible cable and is ideal when the laser beam must be delivered along a complex path or processing requires complicated manipulation of the beam delivery optics. |
