QCW Introduction
QCW (Quasi-continuous wave) fiber lasers are now part of the equation for modern applications. They can operate in both CW and high-peak power pulsed modes. Unlike traditional CW lasers, for QCW Fiber Lasers Come of Age Wall-plug efficiency, high PPR are just two benefits of new laser technology FABRICATING which peak and average power are always the same in CW and CW/ modulated regimes, QCW lasers’ peak power in pulsed mode is increased by a factor of 10 over the average power.

We use Austin solder to assemble our Vertical QCW laser stack. This technology makes lasers have high reliability even in harsh working environments.
QCW & CW comparison
QCW laser diode bars can operate at higher peak powers than their CW counterparts. In addition, multiple high-peak-power QCW bars can be packaged into the same area as a single CW bar, due to the lower average waste heat of each bar running in QCW mode. These factors combine to enable compact diode pumps with very high peak powers when operating in QCW mode. In addition, QCW pumping can reduce the heat load in the laser gain medium, which tends to reduce thermal lensing effects and improve laser beam quality.
