LASER COMPONENTS developed their new fiber cable with active or passive cooling specifically for the requirements of high-power lasers. Depending on the fiber diameter, it supports laser powers from 200W (@ 200µm) to 450 W and more. Its adhesive-free bare-fiber design ensures maximum safety and durability. The cable provides optimum beam quality over a wide wavelength range of 300-1900 nm, which makes it suitable for numerous applications such as laser cutting, welding, cleaning and soldering. It is available in a passive and an active, water-cooled version. Both are equipped with either SMA or D80 connectors.
Even in high-power applications, the advanced water-cooling system of the active version allows for optimum heat dissipation. Each hour, some 30 liters of distilled water flow around a heat sink made of stainless steel or copper and maintain the operating temperature at a constant level of up to 35 °C. For laser powers from 60 W (@ 200µm) up to 130W and more, LASER COMPONENTS also offers its customers a more cost-effective version without water cooling.
In both versions, the manufacturer's own ModeStrip technology prevents the formation of disruptive cladding modes and thus prevents the fibers from overheating and burning out.
