Fiber laser and pulsed laser are two different types of lasers with slightly different working principles and applications.
A fiber laser is a type of laser that is based on fiber optic technology and uses the optical fiber as the laser medium. Its working principle is similar to that of a solid-state laser, but it uses the optical fiber as the gain medium. Fiber lasers have the advantages of narrow output wavelength, high energy density, and excellent beam quality. They are mainly used in the fields of material processing, medical treatment, and communication.
A pulsed laser is a type of laser that generates repetitive pulses of light with high peak power. Pulsed lasers have the advantages of high output power, high energy density, and excellent beam quality. They are mainly used in the fields of material processing, manufacturing, medical treatment, scientific research, and military applications.
Although there is some overlap in their applications, the specific application scenarios are different due to their different working principles.
