The world's first 40000 watt groove laser cutting machine is put into production in China

High power optical frequency combs play a crucial role in nonlinear precision spectroscopy, extreme ultraviolet optical frequency comb generation, nuclear atomic clock research, and other fields. Fiber optic femtosecond lasers are the preferred solution for achieving high power optical frequency combs due to their simple structure, stable performance, and easy amplification. However, due to the un...
