Technology progress and industry status of fiber coupled semiconductor lasers
At present, fiber coupled semiconductor laser structure are mainly single coupled lasers and single coupled lasers, mini Bar and Bar / stack series, multi tube coupled laser because of its high reliability and become one of the mainstream fiber laser pumping source. With the development of fiber lasers to higher power, semiconductor lasers are developing towards high power and high brightness.
With the development of technology, 8KW and kW level fiber laser application. In view of this trend, there is no related products currently Brandnew's planning?
Compared to 8KW and above power level, currently on the market of fiber laser is mainly concentrated in 4KW to 6KW power range, and use the 1000W or 1500W modules, the product has achieved Kipling's coverage. And for higher power range fiber laser pumping, we will continue to launch higher power, lightweight semiconductor laser products, is expected to be in the market after the next year.
Since its birth, laser technology has developed rapidly. According to your observation, what are the new development directions and highlights of the future laser technology?
As a pump source supplier, we have also been concerned about the development of laser technology. In 2016, the performance of the UV laser is very bright, the future of ultra fast laser will become a good direction of development. If you look farther, laser radar, 3D printing and so on have a good room for development.
In terms of processing applications, the future of intelligent and robots will be more into the field of laser processing applications. Compared with the increasingly mature laser cutting market, laser welding will be the next important direction.
With the "made in China 2025" planning introduced, intelligent manufacturing has become an important trend of the light Expo, how do you look at this phenomenon?
Although the overall scale of the laser industry is not too large, but it plays an important supporting role in the national economic development. "China made 2025" strategic planning will promote the transformation of the original manufacturing mode, and the laser will play a tool role in it. With its unique advantages, combined with automation and intelligence, laser technology will play an important role in promoting the transformation of the manufacturing industry.
How to 9xx series of semiconductor laser products market performance last year launched Brandnew's? What is the current situation of semiconductor laser industry in China?
Brandnew's has been focused on pumping source areas, and most of the laser manufacturers and research institutions have established good relations of cooperation. Last year, we launched 9xx products, which have been widely recognized by customers, and used as pump sources in their fiber lasers and solid-state lasers.
In semiconductor lasers, there is still a gap between domestic and abroad, mainly in the upstream chip. Although some domestic institutions are also conducting relevant research, but in terms of stability and power needs to be further improved.
We are committed to the future direction of the pump source application of plough in industrial applications, launched a more cost-effective advantage of the products. In scientific research applications, power and brightness will be further improved. At the same time, we will also develop some lightweight, special application products for different needs. In addition, we will also do some diversified product development according to the needs of customers, to meet the requirements of more customers.
