The difference between UV laser and fiber laser

Both fiber laser and violet laser are lasers, but their main purpose and working principle are different, so there are the following differences:

1. Working principle: fiber laser transmits laser energy through a bundle of optical fibers, while ultraviolet laser generates laser light through crystals or gases. Fiber laser does not need to install transmission devices externally, and directly transmits light in the fiber. The ultraviolet laser requires external lenses to focus the beam, so the equipment is relatively complicated.

2. Output wavelength: The output wavelength of fiber laser is usually around 1µm, while the output wavelength of ultraviolet laser is in the range of 300-400nm.

3. Application fields: fiber lasers are suitable for metal processing, cutting, marking and other fields; while ultraviolet lasers are mainly used in new materials, microelectronics, semiconductors, optical instruments and other fields.

4. Maintenance cost: fiber lasers have fewer optical lenses, and the maintenance cost is relatively low, while ultraviolet lasers need to replace optical lenses regularly, and the maintenance cost is relatively high.

5. Cost: Generally speaking, fiber lasers are more affordable than UV lasers, and the cost is relatively low. To sum up, there are obvious differences between fiber lasers and ultraviolet lasers in terms of application fields and working principles.
