Fiber delivery of CW-pumped, high power Nd:YAG laser is attractive for three-dimensional, flexible material processing. Maximum average output power exceeding 2kW has been obtained for CW-pumped Nd:YAG lasers. Some of the advantageous features of CW-pumped Nd:YAG lasers are, high overall efficiency exceeding 3.5%, long lamp life by utilizing Kr arc lamp, relatively compact and floor-space saving as compared with pulse pumped lasers, capability of peak-power enhancement by envelope modulation, etc. |
