A fiber laser with Ytterbium is a solid state laser
Nd-YAG and Nd-YVO4 generate 1,064nm wavelength
Ytterbium and Vanadate have the exact same wavelength
Nd-YVO4 and Vanadate are exactly the same laser medium
Low cost
Simple design
Every diode pumped laser is end-pumped
Better beam quality
355nm
532nm
1,064nm
365nm
Fiber laser over a Nd-YAG laser
Long focal length and long wavelength
Good beam quality with a short focal length
IPG over a TRUMPF fiber
Plastics evaporate better with a UV laser
UV laser reflects better on plactics than infra-red
Absorption of 355nm wavelength is higher than 1,064nm
Plastics are designed to be marked with a UV laser
Nd-YAG laser has a higher average power
CO2 lasers are more expensive than Nd-YAG
CO2 lasers have bigger spot size which results in bigger mark fields
On metals Nd-YAG lasers have better absorption than CO2
