Fujikura Ltd. receives the Achievement Award (Progress Award) from the Laser Society of Japan for its High-Power Fiber Laser

June 19, 2017

The Research Group of the Optics and Electronics Laboratory, Fujikura Ltd. (President & CEO: Masahiko Ito) received the Achievement Award (Progress Award) from the Laser Society of Japan. This award is presented to those who have made remarkable achievements concerning laser reseach and product development in the previous year as shown in papers in academic journals, lectures at the annual conference, or presentations at research meetings of the Laser Society of Japan.

In the development of fiber lasers, we have been promoting a high fiber laser output taking industrial applications into account by way of, for example, allowing the optical components in laser systems to consist of an all-fiber configuration. In this way, we have realized a semiconductor laser with a direct pumping single mode fiber laser that has the world's highest output power of 3 kW, and have also demonstrated that the system excels in reflected light resistance even in the laser processing of metallic materials where high reflections occur. These achievements have been recognized as remarkable in domestic laser technology, leading to the award.

We will strive to contribute to society and the development of industry through the development and commercialization of fiber laser technology.
