Coherent, Inc. has expanded its fiber laser operation in Tampere, Finland, and designated the facility as a âCenter of Excellence for Fiber Lasersâ?. Currently, Coherent will combine stand-alone fiber laser source assembly and testing at the same site with the manufacture of fiber laser components, laser engines, and combiners. This Center of Excellence for Fiber Lasers will become the source for all Coherent HighLight⢠fiber lasers series, comprising industrial high-power fiber lasers with output powers ranging from 1,000 W to 10,000 W and a wide range of beam qualities, delivering superior results in a variety of challenging welding tasks. Coherent shall place particular focus on a new generation of lasers that offer additional benefits, such as full range of adjustable output powers and dual beam, ring mode, with truly independent center beam and ring beam power control.
This Center of Excellence for Fiber Lasers will bring together Coherentâs fiber laser manufacturing and testing expertise into more than 53,000 ft² (5,000 m²) of production floor space, devoted to the fabrication of critical optical components. This facility helps to ensure that customer requirements are rapidly translated into reliable process recipes and superior customer results.
