Hi, i have a question about optical fiber and CO2 laser
Can a CO2 laser be cabled with optical fiber?
Wavelength of 10 micron
Can a CO2 laser be cabled with optical fiber?
Wavelength of 10 micron
I believe that this is how they are trying to focus enough energy to get fussion?Fibres are also used to bring the power from several lasers heads to one point...
Or, in the case of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Ignition_Facility" [Broken]mgb_phys said:In a fusion experiment you have lots of space to build miles of lasers and beam lines on fixed optical tables so there is no need to use fibres.
Yes, a CO2 laser can be connected to an optical fiber. This allows for the delivery of the laser's beam to a remote location, making it more versatile and flexible in its applications.
The purpose of cabling a CO2 laser with optical fiber is to transmit the laser's beam over a longer distance, allowing for more precise and controlled delivery of the laser's energy. This is particularly useful in medical and industrial applications.
A CO2 laser can be connected to an optical fiber through the use of a beam combiner, which combines the laser's beam with the fiber's beam. The combined beam is then transmitted through the fiber's core to the desired location.
Using optical fiber with a CO2 laser has several advantages. It allows for more precise and controlled delivery of the laser's energy, reduces the risk of damage to surrounding tissues, and enables the laser to be used in remote or hard-to-reach locations.
Yes, there are some limitations to cabling a CO2 laser with optical fiber. The fiber must be able to withstand the high power and heat of the laser, and the laser's wavelength must match the fiber's transmission capabilities. Additionally, the cost of the equipment and maintenance may be higher compared to using a traditional delivery system.
